*An infamous hotel-room escapade found Keith providing a well-intentioned
"inn-keeper" with the ultimate definition of "noise" versus "music". Legend
tells that Moon was quietly standing in the lobby of a mid-western American
hotel, with his portable cassette player blasting out some of the Who's
latest work. After a few minutes of this sound onslaught, the normally
crowded lobby had become practically deserted. It was at this point that the
hotel manager emphatically asked Keith to turn the "noise" down to a
respectable level. In disdain for one not attuned to his musical tastes,
Moon kept right on playing his tape at ear-splitting levels. This prompted
another plea from the manager, again begging that the "noise" be turned off.
This dialogue continued unabated for the next few minutes until the hotel
representative warned that if Keith did not turn the machine off at once he
would be forced to summon the police. At these ominous words Moon made an
agreement with the manager. He said that he would go back to his room if the
official would accompany him. While this request seemed somewhat strange, it
was quickly agreed upon, and the two journeyed up to Keith's ninth floor
abode. Upon reaching his room, Moon signaled that the man should wait a
moment outside the door while Keith went inside. After about two minutes
Moon reemerged, followed closely by a loud dynamite explosion emanating from
his bathroom. As smoke began to fill the hallway, Moon turned to the
horrified manager and calmly explained, "That my friend is noise. This on
the other hand," as he again turned on his cassette player, "is the Who."*
