This day in music history.

September 8, 1978, Keith Moon died of a overdose of heminevrin. The drug had been given to him to help him stop drinking. The official cause of death was ruled to be the result of "accidental misadventure". I find it very ironic that the thing that was supposed to save him is what killed him. I have always wondered how long Moon would have lived if he had just kept drinking. Let that be a lesson to all you kids out there, You Might As Well Just Stay Drunk. LOL Another irony is the last Who album was released just days after his death and he is pictured on the cover sitting on a chair that has a sign on it that says "Not to be taken away".
Imagine a Man by The Who
Imagine a man
Not a child of any revolt
But a plain man tied up in life
Imagine the sand
Running out as he struts
Parading and fading, ignoring his wife
Imagine a road
So long looking backwards
You can't see where it really began
Imagine a load
So large and so smooth
That against it a man is an ant
Then you will see the end
You will see the end
Imagine events
That occur everyday
Like a shooting or raping or a simple act of deceit
Imagine a fence
Around you as high as prevention
Casting shadows, you can't see your feet
Imagine a girl
With long, flowing hair
And the body of chalky perfection and truth
Imagine a past
Where you wish you had lived
Full of heroes and villians and fools
And you will see the end
You will see the end
And you will see the end
You will see the end
Oh yeah
Imagine a man
Not a child of any revolt
But a man of today feeling new
Imagine a soul
So old it it is broken
And you know your invention is you
And you will see the end
You will see the end
You will see the end
You will see the end
Oh yeah
