Does anyone here know the story of Twiggs Lyndon and the Allman brothers?
One of the greatest rock and roll stories of all time.
His younger brother is John Lyndon, the attorney with the office over the GA Theater before it burned down.

tldr:
-club owner tries to short the band on their pay, in upstate NY
-road manager (Twiggs) confronts him, stabs him, kills him
-Twiggs is arrest and put on trial for murder
-He pleads insanity based on amphetimines and "rock and roll lifestyle"
-Judge lets him off
-Allman brothers consider him as a member of the band, but record company would'nt let him pose in band pictures
-So the band puts a picture of him on the wall for this famous pic
The full story is worth the read.

The Lyndon house in Athens is named after their mother or grandmother I believe.
