Page "Keith Moon" Paragraph 84

Animal, one of puppeteer Jim Henson's characters from the Muppets TV show and movies, was rumored to have been based on Keith Moon, due to the fact that both share similar hair, eyebrows, outrageous personality and wild drumming style.

Several sources dispute this, including Jim Henson himself, who said he based Animal's looks and style primarily on his friend, Grammy-winning drummer, Steve Mitchell.
