Title: Difficult Read But Worth It
Review: Alan Clayson writes in the impressionistic style that you find in the English music magazines, so you have to have a good amount of knowledge about the 60s English music scene (and Keith Moon) to make sense of some of his writing. The man has an encyclopediac knowledge of the era and obviously enjoyed himself very much in the 60s. His essays tend to go off on tangents that oftentimes have very little to do with Keith Moon but he managed to keep my interest and has some interesting points to make. The essays proceed in a roughly chronologic fashion and finish with Clayson's ruminations about the death of Keith Moon and the death of rock music in general. The vignettes at the end of each essay featuring various musicians and others who knew Moon were entertaining. On the whole, this book is a good read for those (like me) who are long time fans of the Who and the British scene of the 1960s.
