Substitute Me For Him

You know those dreams you have when you are a kid.

Not the one about flunking a test that will send you to IE doom forever because you haven't studied for one second or the one where you find yourself sitting in homeroom without any pants on.

No.

I'm talking about the other ones, like the one where you are picked out of a crowd to do something you can barely imagine doing even in, well, your wildest dreams.

Well, at a Bill Graham-backed show by 'The Who' at San Francisco's Cow Palace in 1973 teenage drummer Scot Halpin was picked out of that crowd to replace Keith Moon who had just passed out for the second time and fallen off the back of the stage.

Halpin played the rest of the freakin' show.

You can hear all about it here, and read all about it here.

Wow.

Anybody out there ever momentarily realized a dream like that?
