I’m a Boy

In 1966 the Who released ” I’m a Boy “, about a boy dressed as a girl, taken from an abortive collection of songs called Quads ; ” Happy Jack “; and an EP, Ready Steady Who , that tied in with their regular appearances on Ready Steady Go! The group continued to have conflict; on 20 May, Moon and Entwistle were late to a gig having been on the Ready Steady Go! set with the Beach Boys ‘ Bruce Johnston . During “My Generation”, Townshend attacked Moon with his guitar; Moon suffered a black eye and bruises, and he and Entwistle left the band, but changed their minds and rejoined a week later. Moon kept looking for other work, and Jeff Beck had him play drums on his song ” Beck’s Bolero ” (with Page, John Paul Jones and Nicky Hopkins ) because he was “trying to get Keith out of the Who”.
