RE: Good Form?

I'll have to disagree. I was brought up to understand that there was an appropriate time and place for certain types of statements. One of the social conventions was to not speak ill of people immediately following their death. (Sure, there are exceptions, but we're not talking about a murderer in this case.)

The piece was negative and condescending. I'm not an Eagles fan -- it has probably been 15 or 20 years since I've spun one of their records -- but I recognize their place in life when I was younger. The piece should have been put off for a month or two.

I realize your natural instinct is to defend your writer, your magazine and your editing choice, but it is pretty obvious that a number of us out here thought "how rude".
