1977: One of the founding members of Fleetwood Mac was committed to a mental institution on this day.
Peter Green, who had left the band a few years before, was taken into custody after he fired a gun at a delivery boy. The lad was simply trying to deliver a royalty check to Green. It seemed those checks had been arriving with greater frequency once Fleetwood Mac became a super group starting in 1976 and Green wanted no part of them.
