>> 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.
