“Hotel California” How the hell did that nightmare come into being? “Hey let’s write a song where we play the most cliched chord progressions ever conceived over and over and over and over and over until peoples heads explode””

I agree with you, it is catchy;-)

>>Hotel California

Mojo Nixon:
He’s a tortured artist
Used to be in the Eagles
Now he whines
Like a wounded beagle
Poet of despair!
Pumped up with hot air!
He’s serious, pretentious
And I just don’t care
Don Henley must die!
Don’t let him get back together
With Glenn Frey!
Don Henley must die!
Turn on the TV
And what did I see?
This bloated hairy thing
Winning a Grammy
Best Rock Vocalist?
Compared to what?

(”Don Henley Must Die”. At one of Nixon’s shows Henley actually showed up—so they changed the lyric to be about another celeb)
