Eagles - Hotel California
"มาได้ไงเนี้ย" หลายคนคงอุทานออกมาดังๆ แต่ allmusic เค้าบอกว่ายังงี้
" Led Zeppelin, perhaps. the Rolling Stones, probably. Donnie and Marie Osmond, definitely. But the Eagles in league with the Devil? C'mon now! The notion that the Eagles gave us anything more frightening than Don Henley's white-man afro is frankly amusing in retrospect. However, there are some who believe that the country-rock superstars actually worshipped more than boobs, beer, and the occasional tequila sunrise. The legend goes that the title track to the group's 1976 classic Hotel California was about Satan. In fairness, the song does feature the lyrics "This could be Heaven or this could be Hell" and goes on to reference "the beast." Also furthering the belief was the perception that a dark figure on a balcony featured in the album's back cover photo was occult icon Anton LaVey and not, in actuality, a woman. Needless to say, the assumption that the Eagles were referencing anything more sinister in the song than a bad peyote high has since largely been debunked. Still, it persists, like Glenn Frey's handlebar moustache, a bizarre totem to a simpler time. The band even made light of the myth when they reunited in 1994 for the Hell Freezes Over tour. Ultimately though, how can you blame people for thinking the worst? I mean, how else could you explain the phenomenal success of skinny, ugly white guys in tight T-shirts and turquoise-studded snakeskin belts singing country music in 1976 than that they had the power of Beelzebub behind them? Unless, of course, you meant David Geffen, who found a way to successfully market the Eagles while other, similarly inclined country-rock acts like Little Feat and the Flying Burrito Brothers chicken-picked in relative obscurity albeit blissfully intoxicated, oversexed obscurity, but obscurity nonetheless.
