Martin celmins peter green biography book

Brilliant biography of Peter Green from childhood until 1998, when this edition of the book came out. Provides information about Peter that is hard or impossible to find elsewhere.

It also includes many quotes, both from Peter himself, and from many friends and others in the music business. It is obvious that Peter loved playing guitar but became disillusioned with the music industry. It has been widely reported that LSD was the cause of Peter's problems.

This is not completely verified or dismissed by this biography. Apparently, a mescaline experience acted as the catalyst for him to give away large sums of money to starving children in Biafra.
