>> Jeez, I'm kinda surprised anybody cares what's said in an S'phile opinion piece about music/musicians. I pay virtually no attention to what they say about hifi gear, let alone music :-)
First comment is that apparently the subject has drawn your attention to the degree that you've felt the need to make a number of comments of your own in this thread.
>> I wonder what time period after somewhat dies the inmates who objected to Baird's piece would find acceptable.
I've already given my two cents -- I think they should have waited one, maybe two months to publish it. The article appeared almost immediately upon the report of his death.
Keep in mind that while I'm OK with the Eagles, I don't consider myself a fan. They were just part of the music scene back in the 70s when I was younger. I don't think I've elected to intentionally play one of their songs for 15, 20 years or more.
However, the article did strike me as rude in terms of timing. Nothing more, but also nothing less. Hardly a hanging offense, but unfortunately it is increasingly typical these days.

Of course, there is a certain irony that the reaction of others to a subject you claim shouldn't be of interest has resulted in a half-dozen posts from you.
As someone with a rather neutral opinion of the Eagles, but who thinks the timing of the article was rather tasteless, I don't see much difference between those who were bothered by the article and your apparent offense at their offense.
You seem fixated on the # of my posts rather than the content. So far all you've done is state your opinion about the timing of the piece - as I've done - and counted my posts.
"I don't see much difference between those who were bothered by the article and your apparent offense at their offense."
I don't care.
A few seconds using "CTRL-F" to find the number of times you've commented on a subject you claim not to care about is hardly a fixation on my part. If you truly don't care, why are you in this discussion? That remains unanswered.
