加州旅店吉他谱
评价
Don Henley是这样解说hotel California的："We were all midclass kids from the Midwest， ' Hotel California' was our interpretation of the high life in Los Angeles. It was meant to be a metaphor for the United States， for the excesses this country has always been known for. It wasn' t meant to be just about California or Beverly Hills."
“我们是一群来自中西部州中产阶层背景的年轻人，《加州旅馆》是我们对洛杉矶的上流社会的理解。它可看做是对总是追求奢华生活的美国的一个象征，而不仅仅是关于加州和比弗利山区。”（比弗利山区是洛杉矶的 一个最富人区，好莱坞的影星歌星的居处）
