    There is a Hotel California. It was built in 1948 by a Chinese immigrant. But the Eagles never went to it. The Hotel is in Mexico actually. Its currently owned by a Canadian couple and is acsessable by a "desert highway"

    It was about the culture of CA - laid back, drugs, apathy, self indulgence.
