Well, I just don't think the content is so offensive. I think people are overreacting. The article is far from a personal attack on Frey, and contains positive comments about some of the Eagles' recordings along with the negative comments.
I wonder what time period after somewhat dies the inmates who objected to Baird's piece would find acceptable. Whatever it'd be - a month, 2 months, a year - would be arbitrary, and probably different from inmate to inmate.
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 :-)
No, of course I didn't take offense, Dave. I understand where you're coming from.
