The Eagles' 'Hotel California': Everything You Didn't Know

The warm smell of pod-itas rises up through the air as Jordan and Alex tackle one of the biggest songs of the 20th century from one of the biggest punching bags of all time: The Eagles' "Hotel California!" They're prisoners here of their own device as they delve into why, exactly, the Eagles are so hated (spoiler alert: it's mostly Don Henley), wax rhapsodic about Joe Walsh and dissect the operatic dissolution of the band. An already-weakened-by-a-cold Alex is taken to his limit by quotes from lead-Eagles Glenn Frey and Henley as no stone is left unturned parsing the song's lyrics, including their applications to foreign economic policy and their possible bearing on friend of the pod Satan! Also a brief rundown of most of the people Henley has sued, the IRL location of the Hotel California and naturally some great Joe Walsh debauchery stories. Too Much Information: Some pod to remember, some pod to forget.
