And even though Peter formed Fleetwood Mac, I don't know that he was ever it's true leader, even during his short tenure with the band. Peter may have sired the band, but Mick has long been it's true parent.

Sure, I get the drift. But of course Green was the leader while he was in the band. Fleetwood has said as such. Green was known as a very forward character in the early Mac days before lsd etc.
