Pete Townshend or Ron Wood? The story behind the first 8x12 cab | GuitarPlayer #TheWho

www.guitarplayer.com/guitarists/p...

“Pete came in and went, ‘You bastard!’” Pete Townshend claimed this guitar innovation was the Who’s idea. The Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood proved him wrong

The historical record gave Pete the edge — but Wood delivered proof he had the idea first when his 1965 diary was published

50 Years Ago today: Keith Moon Involved in Outrage! Bribing police and impersonating an officer of the law! #TheWho

Surprise! Surprise! Moon involved in outrage by Derek Johnson. It would appear that backstage at one of the Oo’s concerts in Chicago, Moon acquired a policeman’s uniform. The story goes on that he purchased it for 300 dollars from one of the local precinct who’d been detailed to protect the band, leaving the cop standing guard outside their dressing room clad only in underpants, socks and gun-belt! The mind boggles at the reaction of the local Kojak when he returned to headquarters. Moon has subsequently been putting the uniform to good use. The Oo’s itinerary has taken them to c couple of “dry” states, where he has taken the opportunity of confiscating contraband alcohol from members of the audience. What eventually became of this liquor is anyone’s guess. He has also taken to patrolling queues outside concert halls where the band are appearing and has been spotted searching likely looking suspects for “certain substances.”
