THE WHO SET TO ROCK NEW GENERATION ON AUSSIE TOUR

Quote:

Missing Moon

Moon, who died in 1978 (bassist John Entwistle died in 2002), always had aspirations to be a singer, and Daltrey says Moon was never happier then when he was singing Beach Boys songs.
"He was a mad Beach Boys fan. He would have left The Who at the drop of a hat to join the Beach Boys.
"Even at our height, when the Beach Boys were on their way down and The Who were at the top of the world, if the Beach Boys had asked him to drum for them, he would have gone. We used to do Barbara Ann for Keith to keep him happy."
