8/23/1967: Truth or legend? During a wild birthday party, Keith Moon drove his Lincoln into a Holiday Inn swimming pool in Flint, Michigan. As the party had become out of control, the police were called to put an end to the festivities. Moon, ever keen to avoid the boys in blue, snuck outside and got into a Lincoln Continental Limousine and attempted to make a getaway. In his inebriated state he released the brake and began rolling towards the pool. Moon simply sat back and waited, as the car crashed through the fence around the pool and into the water.
