My takeaway is that Felder's behavior/demands stressed out Glenn immensely in the '70s and from 1994-2001, and NOW he is able to be FREE of him. He is past it, he doesn't have to play politics or band business or keep his mouth shut. He is free to speak of Felder in any manner he wants, and his words reflects how he feels now. It was very liberating.

That was honestly one of my favorite scenes in the doc. And no, as an adult, watching a rock documentary, the a-word does not remotely offend, in any context.
Hear, hear.

We are talking about a grown man who doesn't mince his words.Some of us were plesaed that he didn't hold back or try & pretend that the situation ddin't make him angry. As I have said, give me his brutal honesty over Felder's backhanded jibes any day. Perhaps at the time as VA said he could have been less abrasive & shown more patience. What he was faced with was being generous enough to pluck someone out of obscurity after 14 years of almost complete silence, and then watching that person apparently believe that he was the most important band member & that he could dictate terms. The fact is Felder was in no position to bargain & had to be given an ultimatum.
