Great article. Lindsey Buckingham still goes to a pizza place a short walk from my house. Along with Steve Wozniak. I don't know if they know each other.

Anyhow, the great thing about Hotel California is, you can recognize it by the first chord and immediately change the station on the radio. Faux LA angst, and "cynical" pretty well describes it.

The thing about Hotel California, Aja, and Rumours is they gave us punk rock

Great read. Don Felder’s “Heaven and Hell” unlocks the inner workings of the world’s worst Christmas Party AKA Henley, Frey, and Buzzkill LLC. Wendy Holden’s cowriting is nails.
