Sep 17, 2018 at 23:16 comment added Jason Bassford @bluebell1 The sentence is still grammatical and meaningful without the presence of The Who drummer Keith Moon. It doesn't convey as much information (only that his drinking partner was somebody from Tommy), but it still functions as a sentence. It's like giving Keith Moon's age and phone number—that would be additionally interesting, but also not necessary.
