The inspiration for Hotel California?
5 May 2024
While watching this strange 70's gem, it struck me that could have been the inspiration for the Eagles hit song Hotel California. The movie came out a few years before and is full of parallels to the song. I did a quick web search and was amazed to see there is no connections between the two.
Weary traveler in a desert highway hearing Mission Bells and Checking in to a hotel that he can never leave.
Yes, I'm aware the Eagles have stated the song is about their experiences in Hollywood, but keep an open mind and check this out for yourself. It's actually pretty eerie. You won't be able to keep the idea out of your head while watching it!
