"Hotel California" song by Eagles.

What do we generally think of this classic 1970s pop/rock tune? Or soft classic rock rather?

And also, how do we feel about the band Eagles in general, and for that matter, its lead singer Don Henley's solo career?

Me, I mostly like the Eagles overall and think they're pretty good and yes this song "Hotel California" is a great classic, if not their best, definitely in their top 5 for sure. Like some of Henley's solo work but need to listen to more of it to form opinion.

Have to say, I first heard it on the radio around 1997 when returning from school on the bus in UK and later heard it again and got hooked around late 2001 on one compilation CD. (I also own at least the ALBUM "Hotel California" at home on CD and some Eagles compilation.)

Also, now here comes the big part, in your opinion, what is this song ACTUALLY about? Drugs? The illusion of the "American dream"? Art versus consumerism? Anything else? NOTE - it is NOT actually about, haha, like I may have at once thought (barring the time when I thought it was actually about the STATE 'California') a HOTEL CALIFORNIA in California, it wasn't about hotels, California in general etc, its a METAPHOR, apparently, and surprise surprise, that ACTUAL hotel, although rumoured to have been around in the town of Todos Santos in Mexico for all this time including the 1970s before this song, did NOT exist (in the sense that, it existed at the time and Eagles wrote a song and sang about it), and it was NOT based on ANY hotel, named California, in California etc, or otherwise, and the aforementioned "Hotel California" hotel in Mexico in Todos Santos actually got its name AFTER the Eagles song and the Eagles even issued a lawsuit on it over the matter.

Apparently, its some kind of metaphor for drugs, commercialism, downfall after major success in arts, business and/or music etc, depending on how one interprets the song and its meaning.

Anyways, what do we think?
