Justin Wm. Moyer/Washington Post reports on the death of the Eagles' Glenn Frey at age 67:

It’s a small moment in a 117-minute film, but when that film is the cult classic “The Big Lebowski” (1998), no moment is small. Jeff Bridges, a.k.a. the Dude, gets in a cab after a rough night only to hear Glenn Frey’s voice drifting from the radio, singing as lead on the Eagles’ “Peaceful, Easy Feeling.” Even for the Dude — perpetually high, perpetually abiding — it’s too much. This band has harshed whatever remained of his mellow. “Jesus, man, could you change the channel?” the Dude says. “… I hate the f—ing Eagles, man.” The taxi’s driver’s response perhaps reflects the hidden desire of anyone who ever took a pro-Eagles position in an argument with an Eagles detractor: After a profane rant, he throws the Dude out of the car. Now that Frey — who died Sunday at 67 of complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia, as The Washington Post’s Harrison Smith reported — is gone, we must recognize his many gifts. More here.

Question: Did you love or hate the Eagles?
