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!
