It Was A Lincoln Continental That Keith Moon Crashed Into The Swimming Pool In 1967, Not A Rolls-Royce

The story that Keith Moon drove a Rolls-Royce into a swimming pool on his 21st birthday is one of the most outlandish stories about rock and roll excess. But since it was first told in 1967, the story has taken on a life of its own. Moon and many other people there say that the drummer’s birthday party got out of hand when he started a food fight near the pool at a Holiday Inn in Flint, Michigan. Moon was among the people there. After throwing a five-tiered cake at everyone, Moon found the closest car, a Lincoln Continental, let go of the parking brake, and let gravity do the rest.

After that, I went back to the party even though I was still soaked. “Still, some of the rock stars there say that Keith Moon never went in the swimming pool. We’ll assume that it’s based on what you think is the more interesting story.

In the 1960s, it was against the law for a rock band member to drive a crappy car, so you can bet that every member of The Beatles sped across England in cars that matched their status as rock gods-to-be.
