Few fans who love English songs don't know about California hotels. This very classic guitar music is one of the most famous pop music works in the 20th century, which has created a group of super fans in California hotels. Because this single is so famous, it even overtook its creator, the Eagles.
This song can be said to be the masterpiece of the eagles in the best state and the best combination. Hotel California topped the charts for eight consecutive weeks on 1977, and the special feature of the song is the double guitar effect of Don Feld and joe walsh.
Ranked 1 1 among the 100 greatest English songs selected by Rolling Stone magazine.
Those who think this hotel really exists can find everything they need in Todos Santos, a small town in southern California. The town is next to the desert of the Southern California Highway. There is a hotel in town with a similar record cover. Not far from the hotel is a church, and the bell rings in the middle of the night. This hotel once had a secret sex trade.
The hotel owner claimed that this was the "California Hotel" in the song, but in the history of the town, the name change of the hotel only happened in the 1980s after the song became popular. In the late 1990s, several newspapers began to publish the true story of "Hotel California", which finally caused the songwriter don henley to formally deny that members of the Eagles had never been here.
The song itself hints at drugs several times, which is also the source of the statement that the California Hotel was originally a drug rehabilitation center. According to this statement: California Hotel is a voluntary drug rehabilitation center beside the highway in Southern California, and the experience of the Hawks taking drugs in hospital is the source of the lyrics. ?
At the beginning of the lyrics, Coritas suggested that top-heavy feeling is the characteristic of smoking marijuana. "Lighting a candle" is a common expression of drug abuse, and dancing in the backyard is an uncontrollable epileptic seizure after drug abuse.
This kind of voluntary drug rehabilitation center is mainly for the middle class, between sanatorium and drug rehabilitation center, and promiscuity is a normal phenomenon after the middle class debauchery in the 1970 s. Drug addiction allows you to recover in a certain period of time and leave the drug rehabilitation center, but you can never get rid of the shadow of repeating the same mistakes. This is the portrayal of "you can check out for a while, but you can never leave".
