The Oxford American article is pretty good until the author gets really lazy and summarizes the entire ABB history post 1974 with this:

"They made a bunch of shitty records after that. Gregg started dating Cher (“I’m sorry, but she’s not a very good singer,” he later wrote of the union). There were a lot of mediocre side projects. By the late 1970s, the band was done. Animosity was high; people were broke, paranoid. Walden himself was becoming an increasingly contentious figure in the manner of all great rock managers and impresarios, like anyone who ends up with a mercenary stake in the production and dissemination of an art that is not entirely his own. His legacy is still regarded with equal parts wariness and reverence (he died, in 2006, of cancer). He is often credited, fairly or not, with helping Jimmy Carter get elected president in 1976, throwing the full Southern rock gentry behind Carter’s bid, hosting benefits, concerts, events. Eventually, it was revealed that Phil Walden owed a lot of people a lot of money. Capricorn went bankrupt.

In 2014....."

You know a band is dead when the only thing that stirs a discussion is ranking members or being upset and a print article of recycled leftovers gets someone offended.

The ABB was great. The ABB is DONE.

Not offended, just discussing the article. I'd give the author props, too, if warranted.
