Keith Moon stole my lipstick : the swinging '60s, the glam '70s and me
Wills, Judith2016
Books
A naïve 17-year-old country bumpkin leaves her Mum and her 16-foot caravan home in Botley and catches a coach to a near-mythical land - London and the Swinging '60s. Days later, mascara running, itching in her prickly suit, stammering from shyness, she turns up for a job interview with the UK's first ever pop magazine, 'Fab.' On the strength of a letter she had invented, she is miraculously hired and soon finds herself living her dream as a music journalist. In 'Keith Moon Stole My Lipstick,' Judith Wills reveals her remarkable story in which she sang with Freddie Mercury, smoked Jim Morrison's joint, had a strange encounter with David Bowie, babysat Kate Beckinsale, accompanied Billy Fury to a christening, went hiking with Mr Spock, starred at the Albert Hall with Tom Jones, and met just about anyone who was anyone in the day, including Keith Moon, who stole her lipstick.
