I notice that BBC Four is having a Fleetwood Mac night tonight- starting at 9pm with a profile of the group, then moving on to an episode of 'Rock Family Trees' dedicated to them and finishing with a profile of lead guitarist Peter Green. So if you're a fan I recommend checking it out....

There was a docu on BBC1 the other week about Fleetwood Mac. They had some tough times.....I think Peter Green died? Then there were arguments, walkouts and drugs too! It's a wonder they're still around making music!

Yeh, I'm not sure if Peter Green's dead but they've certainly had a fair few line up changes and all that, it's amazing they went from basically being a blues band to the more poppy stuff they did with Stevie Nicks, quite a turnaround!

I missed the part where it said what happened to him but it seems he suffered from a mental illness, abandoned music for a time...and became a grave digger at one point!

Apparently so, but he's back recording now I believe.
