So if you look at the quote, strictly speaking it's not false - he did play with Fleetwood Mac until the early '70s - but of course it's stated in a way that makes both the length of time he played with them sound longer and his very limited participation sound a lot more important than the reality.
I understand, but it does show a shady side of him, if it was he who gave the information.


Instead of saying "he played with Fleetwood Mac during the winter U.S. tour of 1971", or "including a stint with Fleetwood Mac in early 1971", it sounds like he was with the band on and off from the beginning-early 70's. I'm glad Peter Green is out of his life.
