FLINT TWP, MI -- A member of Herman's Hermits is adding a footnote to one of the Flint area's most sensational -- and disputed -- legends.

Barry Whitwam, drummer with the Hermits, told the Western Morning News in a story posted Wednesday, July 29, that Keith Moon, former drummer for The Who, did smash out two front teeth while staying in Flint in 1967.

Moon himself and others have claimed he drove a car into the pool of a Flint Township Holiday Inn as part of a drunken birthday celebration while the bands were in Flint for an Atwood Stadium concert.

Moon detailed driving a Lincoln Continental into the pool in an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine in 1972.

But the late drummer's version of the story has been contested by music journalists and other musicians.

Whitwam told the News that Moon, who was celebrating his birthday, ended up having to have emergency dental work in Flint as a result of his antics -- but not because of a car crash.

"We were at The Holiday Inn in Flint, Michigan, and we had around 200 cakes in the dining room sent from fans, but we couldn't eat them as we didn't know what was in them," Whitwam said in the Western Morning News.

The cakes ended up as part of a food fight, the story says, covering the walls, ceiling and carpet inside the hotel, and friends tried to get Moon, who was wearing no pants, out of the hotel without being arrested.

"Keith pulled up his pants, apologized to the officer and (we) pushed Keith out of the fire exit. He then tripped over the pavement and smashed out his two front teeth. He spent the rest of the night in the emergency dental hospital," the story says.

Moon told Rolling Stone he stripped to his underwear after a food fight at the hotel and "jumped into the first car I came to, which was a brand-new Lincoln Continental."

"It was parked on a slight hill, and when I took the handbrake off, it started to roll and it smashed straight through this pool surround (fence), and the whole Lincoln Continental went into the Holiday Inn swimming pool, with me in it," Moon said in the story.
