obits are hard to write and easy to screw up tonally depending on the audience, and except for that amazing linkedin post, i don't think any of the other examples really belong on this thread at all.
like the ceremony of the occasion calls on you to sort of swing a bit big, and that's the case even for good pieces. also the personal feelings of readers are stronger than usual, (as AB apparently can testify) and so everything that doesn't feel exactly right can seem like some sort of insult, when if those opinions were out in any other context, it would just be "a reasonable, if slightly off take".

i thought this thread was about bashing music writing, and that was offered up, and yes i am super charged about Bowie right now. embarassingly, i also thought it was from the comedian Patton Oswalt, who I confused with Owen Pallet. so i read it as if it was a snarky comedian making fun of my dear departed hero. i am very sorry.
anyways, is this the first time an author has been in this thread while a piece of his was posted? it's not nearly as bad as the time i asked for torrent in the 33 1/3 thread while some authors were about...

though he did accurately capture how every Bowie fan subsumed their personalities becoming mindless Hitler drones.
Golly! This is the kind of abjection that Hitler was once offered. One is tempted to say that they are the words of natural, or at least willing, slaves who seek to dissolve their selves and forego their will for that of some other person.
