Let's get away from politics and back to what's REALLY important: the music!! Yes, Peter Green is recording again. Actually, he has been for a while--with a band called the Splinter Group, but I'm not sure if he's still with them. I saw him in a small club in Minneapolis a few years back, and he was very good. His guitar skills are not what they were at the peak of the blues-era Fleetwood Mac, but considering what he's gone through and how long he avoided the guitar after his breakdown, his picking was still mighty impressive. He looked very nervous throughout--obviously a residual effect of his mental illness--but the crowd's fervent applause seemed to inspire him. He smiled a lot and gave a lot of "thank you's" to the crowd. Overall, it was a very nice show, and a very welcome reintroduction to a blues giant.
