Fact #170772
When:
Short story:
When The Who play at The Sports Arena, San Diego, California, USA, the crowd becomes crushed near the front of the stage, in response to which drummer Keith Moon shouts out, "We're four of the nastiest, vicious bastards you could ever hope to meet in your lifetime- the scum of the earth!" When Moon's girlfriend, Sheila Arthur, runs onto the stage wearing the ears and tail of a Playboy bunny, the tension of the moment is somewhat reduced.
Full article:
Sheila Arthur (girlfriend of Keith Moon) : We were staying at the Playboy Hotel in San Diego and Keith had coerced one of the bunnies out of her tail and ears. He then gave these items to me to wear onstage to present Towser's present. I was under the impression that it was his birthday, I was pushed out onto the stage with the crown and the rabbit accessories. Perhaps the joke was on me...? Pete was really pissed that they sent me onstage. I could see the rage in his eyes, and I was terrified of being struck dead by an electric guitar, but when he saw Keith and his assistant Dougal giggling after pushing me out on the stage, he suddenly understood the joke and decided not to kill me.
