He left school at 15 and worked for HM Customs and Excise[3] (as had John Entwistle) before becoming a roadie for the band in 1967[4] or 1968.
[5] According to Butler, one of his early tasks for the band was to provide a getaway car so that Pete Townshend could steal a guitar from Jim Marshall's music shop in Ealing.
[5] Butler later described being Moon's personal assistant as demanding work, recalling "what you learnt was what was going on in his mind and tried to be a step or two ahead but he was very unpredictable.
He recalls regularly throwing people out of their house in Trancas and destroying or disposing of drugs before Moon found them.
[5] New Musical Express' Andy Gill gave a positive review of the book, noting the clear affection that Butler had for Moon.
