RE: Good Form? My Long Opinion Piece

I hope I can put my thoughts on this in some cohesive fashion because I feel like the freshman in a room full of post graduates. There are many of you who had more than a passing friendship or working relationship with Frey, so I am speaking from a purely fan/music lover position. There are a number of persons outraged, disappointed & offended. Some are unfazed & some amused. The one thing (to me) that they all have in common is that they have simply, or not so, voiced their opinions about the article/reviewer. It is only an opinion. I happen to share the opinion that it (the article) was poorly timed, seemed to me a little mean spirited and to me, was just wrong in his judgement of the Eagles, their music, talent & influence. But hey, that's MY opinion (which of course is more right than Baird's). To wrap up this too long & insignificant OPINION, I'll just make an uneducated observation. Did anyone else think too much hatred was addressed to the idea that the Eagles were a "less than decent band" because the radio overplayed their music, which was the result of jillions of sales, because people all over the world loved their music. Am I wrong in that assessment, or have I oversimplified it? As I read the review, that thought kept popping up, that the Eagles were disliked because they were too popular. Sorry if I missed the point entirely, but like I said, I'm looking through the eyes of a freshman, so to speak, albeit a 66 yr. old freshman. Thanks, Dave.
Everyone thinks I'm strange except my friends deep inside the earth
