April 28th – Actor Ed Begley (Sr) died

 

April 30th – Twiggs Lyndon, road manager of The Allman Brothers Band, is arrested for murder after he stabs a club manager during an argument over a contract.  

During his trial, Lyndon’s lawyers argued that he had been temporarily insane at the time of the incident, stating that “touring with the Allman Brothers would drive anyone insane.”  Incredibly, Lyndon was acquitted of all charges!
