In general, I'm a nobody. That is to say, I am completely unknown to the world at large. So imagine my surprise when someone famous took note of an internet comment I made.
There is a popular Facebook page that deals in nostalgia. Colouring the Past is its name.
A few days ago, it presented a 1969 television recording of The Who performing "Pinball Wizard" live on the 'This is Tom Jones' set. Sometime during the act, drummer Keith Moon's cymbal stand fell, off-camera, from the riser. (I've highlighted the overturned cymbal stand here in the still frames for easier viewing.)
No one, in the 350 plus Facebook comments however, made mention of the mishap -- so I did. And that was that I thought. Well, one commenter did applaud me for my sharp eye. Confession: I use to be a broadcast floorperson in my earlier career, and we were always on the lookout for potential prop failures, troubles, and such.
Then tonight, I went to my Facebook notifications, because a second person had hit the "like" button on my "One cymbal takes a fall for the performance" comment.
It was Roger Daltrey!
