First off...I doubt there\'s much left of his face what with being dead for 33 years and all...you\'re probably thinking of Keith Richards.
Secondly....did I say he was a role model? I\'m just pointing out (as others have) the absurdity that using a camera is so damned difficult, mentally challenging and dexterity based (seriously? Surgery/Dental work/Airline Pilot comparisons? Jeez I thought *I* had an ego) that a single drink will render you entirely unable to do it, essentially transmogrifying you into a primordial rabbit floundering on the floor slurring \"why on off button not make black box go click click no more??\" when an obvious and famous alcoholic like Moon still managed to do stuff like this when totally off his face....but yeah....one drink.....wedding ruined....
Down with this kind of thing.
P.S. before someone jumps down my throat with pointing out the difference between ABILITY to perform, and professionalism.....if you\'re stuck in an area/market so completely uptight that your clients don\'t even offer what we would class as basic hospitality after a 12-15 hour day, mentally and creatively drained having carried 4lb of metal round your neck, as well as a Vaga II (must get the Lithium!) then I feel bad for you, hope you\'re happy and wish you all the best, but please don\'t judge those with clients less pious/uptight/open/whatever adjective doesn\'t upset your sensibilites and tar everyone with the \"professionalism\" brush as if sharing a drink or two with WILLING (very important!!!) clients is somehow akin to Oliver Reed\'s infamous Parkinson appearance, it\'s ludicrous.
I also thank God (pun entirely intended) that I live in such a secular country.
You must be drinking already...you\'re the one who said Keith Moon! And Keith Richards is another excellent example of the benefits of alcohol!
