4. Keith Moon WAS born 8/23/46...but why the Bonham pic?
...Bonham was born on May 31, 1948 in Redditch, Worcestershire UK...

And since Rock's Greatest Drummer was Keith Moon, here ya go:

http://www.drummerworld.com/drummers/Keith_Moon.html

"Keith John Moon was born in Wembley, London, on the 23rd of August 1946. He was the first child of Kathleen 'Kitty' and Alfred Moon. Alfred, a motor mechanic, and Kitty had two daughters after Keith and they all lived in Chaplin Road, in the shadow of Wembley Stadium."

12. Drinking a Keg of Ale a day . . .
Jesus, Bonzo looks like he's in his early 50s in that pic, yet I'll bet he was only 28-30 when it was taken.

14. Phil Rudd didn't die...(Didnt Bon Scott die in 1980?)
Ok, obviously Bonn isn't the greatest (but he is solid). I used to sit behind my drummer's set (back in the early 80s) and just hit the snare..crack...crack...crack...crack...and call it the Phil Rudd drum solo.
