Mr. Garvey; You have my condolences. To have worked with greatness such as Mr. Frey's - WOW!!!
I just wish all the grave dancers would consider their words before they hit send.
I didn't see anything like this level of vitriol two weeks ago with David Bowie's passing (not that there should have been).
It's not like Robert Baird added anything to what has been written many of times before. Hey; When you have no original thoughts, just keep recycling the old ones Bob.
You are right in your assessment; "Arrogant, smug, clueless, audiophile reporters"...........And they wonder why this is a dying hobby.

Perhaps their view has changed, but one of the most severe critics of The Eagles throughout the 1970s/80s was Rolling Stone magazine. I always found their criticism curious. Perhaps the acerbic Henley pissed off the editor. Whatever the reason I got the impression the cause of said criticism was personal rather than artistic.
Let me repeat, I have found Mr. Bairds' profiles of under represented artists compelling, THAT is why I find this piece so disappointing. If that is how he felt fine, but he should have been put on ice his editor.It is beyond baffling how this could proceed. As you said, words should be considered before published.
The Eagles crafted their music the old fashioned way, with talent, no Auto Tune, no Pro Tools, no song doctors, etc.
And yes..where is the precedent for negative pieces of musical artists who have passed on, with the body still warm...?

Mr. Garvey;
I just posed a hypothetical question to Mr. Atkinson;
If one of yor writers panned the Moody Blues after the death of your countryman Justin Hayward, would the piece ever see the light of day?
I'm guessing not!
