If Baird had written a rant about the Eagles and Stereophile had published it at some random other time, few would read it and nobody would care. The problem with this is that it's a slam piece hidden behind a title that made me think it was going to be an obituary or eulogy. I think it was mean spirited take the opportunity to write an obit and use it to insult the dead artist and his fans and mourners. Sorry you can't see that.

As I said, I understand where you and others are coming from regarding the timing. Do you seriously believe I'm such a complete dolt that your point escapes me? Am I allowed to NOT be offended, or do we all have to have the same reaction?
I just don't give a shit what Baird says, nor when he says it. Never have. If he'd written a piece praising everything Frey recorded/performed it wouldn't matter to me, and nothing in the piece he actually did submit matters to me. If possible I'd care even less about what he said the day after a jazz musician's death.
My posts are not a defense of S'phile, JA or Baird. I didn't view the piece as such a hatchet job, but even if I did, it would be of utterly no consequence to me - whether it was published now or a year from now. I wouldn't even have read the piece if I hadn't seen the thread (with link) here and wondered what the, ahh, stir was about.
Posted anywhere else on AA this would have faded into oblivion almost immediately.

The level of self importance/self righteousness on this board is stunning.
