I've always liked the song. I think a lot of the hate comes from it being performed by the remnants of the Jefferson Airplane rather than someone like Foreigner or Journey.
I never realized that Bernie Taupin wrote (most of) it.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I love you guys. I'm curiously calm about it. He was ready, I am glad his family had the time to mourn him and bury him by his wishes next to his parents before letting the world know, I am thankful for the blessings he gave us all with his words, I am thankful I saw him perform.
He is gone to story now, but what stories they are.

In a week of massive awfulness, this really doesn't help (there's other more personal stuff I won't get into involving friends). But he did have a good run of it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That is just one loss too many for me.
