The Who's Pete Townshend believes that his late friend and bandmate Keith Moon once bought dinner in Seattle for a nine-year-old Kurt Cobain.
This intriguing anecdote was relayed second-hand during an interview that Death Cab For Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard conducted with Jesse David Fox, from New York Magazine's online entertainment hub Vulture.
Gibbard shared a conversation that he had with Townshend backstage at the 2006 staging of the Oxegen festival at Punchestown Racecourse in County Kildare, Ireland. On the day, July 8, 2006 to be precise, Gibbard and original Death Cab For Cutie guitarist Chris Walla were hanging out with the legendary guitarist in his trailer, and the American musicians informed Townshend that they were from Seattle, and that they had actually shared some mutual friends, namely the members of Pearl Jam.
