The Beach Boys and Jan and Dean were his favorite musicians. Packed flash powder in his base drum during an appearance on the "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" (1967), causing it to explode. This not only caused Pete Townshend's hair to catch fire and damaged his hearing, but Moon was injured as well. His prime purpose in this prank was to upstage Smothers, and when he appeared right in front of the camera whilst a joke was being cracked, before collapsing, his attempts were successful. Shared a house in Los Angeles with John Lennon and May Pang, Ringo Starr, and Harry Nilsson in 1974; it was the same place where Bobby Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe had met for trysts in the early 1960s. They called it their "rock-n-roll rest home", and Moon was fond of coming down to breakfast wearing a trenchcoat slit up the back... and nothing underneath. Was a front-row guest at one of The Monkees's London concerts; countered the fans' cries of "We want the Monkees!" by bellowing "We want the Who!" as loudly as anyone.
