Re: Hotel California, what\'s it all about?
The eagles song? I always thought it was about death and perhaps going to hell. Been a long time since I've heard though so I may be way off.

Re: Hotel California, what\'s it all about?
In a 1995 interview, Don Henley said the song "sort of captured the zeitgeist of the time, which was a time of great excess in this country and in the music business in particular." In another interview that same year, he referred to it as being about a "loss of innocence."
The album has as its underlying theme the corruption of impressionable rock stars by the decadent Los Angeles music industry. The celebrated title track presents California as a gilded prison the artist freely enters only to discover that he cannot later escape. The real Hotel California is not a place; it is a metaphor for the west coast music industry and its effect on the talented but unworldy musicians who find themselves ensnared in its glittering web.

Re: Hotel California, what\'s it all about?
Wow very interesting.
I love Don Henley (i was subject to a lot of his music when I was young). Funny how that explanation is still applicable today.
