There is nothing wrong with this, it is not unsavory.
This isn't some fairytale fantasyland - it is real life, and it's hard, and Don, Joe, Tim and Cindy are human. Life is messy and complicated and people don't know how to act when someone dies. FreyPower thinks the Eagles should do the "dignified and proper thing". This made me laugh because...um...since when? They're a rock band for God's sake! Underage hookers! Illegal drugs! Bad behavior! Their history is that they play music and make money. That is what they're continuing to do.
They took their time to mourn Glenn, all in their own ways, and now they're living life again and making it up as they go. I wish their fans wouldn't think they're morally reprehensible for trying to continue to live, honor Glenn, and perpetuate the world's enjoyment of the Eagles. It's totally fine if you don't think that's really the Eagles up there, but you don't need to criticize them, you should wish for their success, not for their failure.
Also fantasyland - thinking Don, Tim and Joe would be up there every night as the Eagles if Cindy wasn't behind them 100%. To suggest coercion has zero basis in the facts as we know them and implies that Cindy is weak.
