After reading Keith Moon: The Life and Death of a Rock Legend, I have new-found respect for Keith’s  unique drumming style and The Who in general. MusicRadar.com reports that Keith will receive the posthumous honor of a so-called “blue plaque” at one of the former sites of London’s famous Marquee Club.

It’s a turnaround in fortune for Moon fans. In May 2008, English Heritage declined to mark Moon’s London home with a blue plaque, saying: “Moon died aged only 32, and many of his contemporaries, including other members of The Who such as Pete Townshend, are still living. Further time should be allowed to pass so he can be considered alongside his contemporaries.”

But now another British heritage organisation, the Heritage Foundation, has sanctioned a plaque.

So what’s a blue plaque? According to Wikipedia.org:

In the United Kingdom, a blue plaque is a permanent sign installed in a public place to commemorate a link between that location and a famous person or event. It serves as a historical marker.
