Psycho
Watched the Hitchcock thriller last night on an TCM tribute to Janet Leigh. I have long wondered if Hotel California was an homage to the Bates motel. Anybody know what was the inspiration for the song?

"I hate the f******eagles man!"
(if you can name the movie that goes with that quote. I owe you a coke)
Hotel California (song - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Really interesting write up on it actually. Multiple thoughts on it. |

It's always struck me as a sort of 1970s L.A. take on "House of the Rising Sun." |
