Thought this might be a good place for a couple vintage virtual clippings about Peter...
Rolling Stone Apr 16, 1970 Peter Green to Emulate Christ? LONDON - Peter Green, guitarist with Fleetwood Mac, may or may not give away all his money except enough for an occasional handful of rice. "Why should I have any more money than anyone else?" Peter asks rhetorically. Peter made the announcement that he was going to give it all away shortly before Fleetwood Mac left on a European tour. But no sooner was he out of town than his manager's office began changing his mind for him. Said a spokesman: "If Peter does give money away, it will be done quietly. We do know that he plans to do a charity show in April." And it is suspected that Green will continue to give the odd penny to the sidewalk beggars as well. Added the spokesman huffily: "Whether Peter will or not give his money is up to him. This is not the kind of publicity we want." One of the persons most surprised to hear about Green's planned beneficence was his father. "He could do a lot better by buying us a new house," the practical Mr. Green senior told the Daily Mirror. Rolling Stone May 14, 1970 Peter Green Is On the Loose LONDON - Fleetwood Mac loses leader Peter Green. Singer, songwriter, and one of the best rock guitarists in the country, Green is quitting the group after three years and giving a large part of his money to charity: "I want to lead a freer and more selfless life along Christian principles." He is going ahead with plans for solo albums and free concerts, "with friends I like jamming with." "I've got to do what God would have me do, start some kind of positive action, despite newspaper distortion or whatever," says Green of his decision. "I'm not worried if it means I'll fade from public view - it's better to set a good example." Since his decision became public property, Green has received upwards of 500 begging letters. But he intends donating the money (just how much he won't say) to a major international charity. "Money is not important. We should love one another, care for one another. One of the most common attitudes in pop today is that you've got to make it while you can and stash it away for the future. That's rubbish. I know I'll always be able to play, always be able to work." He leaves the group, he says, with no hard feelings on either side. |
