Don Henley Blasts 'Hotel California' Myth. Henley is sick of questions about the inspiration behind the band's iconic hit Hotel California - because the truth is far more boring than the myths created by fans.
Legend has it Satanism is at the song's center - but Henley insists the lyrics are merely an observation of life in America in the 1970s.
He says, "It's so boring. It's basically a song about the dark underbelly of the American dream, and about excess in America which is something we knew a lot about."
Case in point - "Life in the Fast Lane" (same album) is about the exact same thing - proving, once again, that the Eagles, in fact - suck."Come on, man. I had a rough night and I hate the fuggin' Eagles, man!"
In other rock news, Quiet Riot's singer was found dead in Las Vegas. No word on whether it was alcohol, drugs, both or the wig glue that had seeped into his brain
