The True Meaning of Hotel California by The Eagles
Theres a rumor thats been around for some time concerning the Eagles song Hotel California. The basic premise is that the song is about a Christian church that was abandoned (or otherwise vacated) in 1969, and was taken over by an occultic group (usually Satan worshippers). For some unknown reason, it became known as the Hotel of California. Further rumors have it that the Eagles are Satan worshippers, and that Satan appears in the window on the Hotel California album jacket. I remember hearing as a kid that the Eagles megaplatinum song Hotel California was about Aleister Crowleys mansion near Loch Ness, and the weird goingson that supposedly happened there; including such clues as the line they stab it with their steely knives, but they just cant kill The Beast (Crowleys nickname). Its even been said that if you look on the album cover, you can see Satanic High Preist Anton LeVey in one of the windows. Ive looked, and though it is fuzzy damned if it doesnt look like him.
