3/24/2023 0 Comments Hotel california songster![]() ![]() ![]() Devil worshippers bought an old church and rechristened "the Hotel California.".The song is a tribute to the place where the Satanic Bible was written.When it comes to finding Satan in this song, over the years we've heard the following: The shadowy figure was a woman hired for the photo shoot. That the people in the picture seem unaware of the gleefully evil figure standing above them only adds to the implicit horror of the scene - the innocents below are oblivious to their having wandered into the house of the Devil. Many who look at that photo see Anton LaVey, leader of the Church of Satan, and interpret the spread arms as his welcoming the populace below into Satan's trap. In a balcony above them looms a shadowy figure with arms spread. The inner cover is a photograph of people in a courtyard of a Spanish-looking inn. The lyrics (which speak of trying to "kill the Beast" and not having had "that spirit here since 1969") form the bedrock of the various Satan-related theories, but the belief is also fed by the album design. However, by far the most common theme to surface in Hotel California rumors is one that links the song to devil worship. The imagery of the song is explained as that person's hallucinations juxtaposed against moments of startling clarity as he realizes where he is. To them, the lyrics seem to fit what a mentally disturbed person would experience upon incarceration in a long-term care facility. Those who persist in believing the song must be named after an actual building have been known to assert "Hotel California" was the nickname of the Camarillo State Hospital, a state-run psychiatric hospital near Los Angeles which housed thousands of patients across its sixty-year history before closing in 1997. Nor did they have this building in mind when they set down the lyrics to this popular song. None of the Eagles stayed there, let alone wrote music there. ![]() Though there is a Hotel California in Todos Santos, a town on Mexico's Baja California peninsula, its relation to the song begins and ends with the coincidence of a shared name. Some believe the song was written about a real inn bearing that name. Theories abound as to what the song means. Its title track, the haunting "Hotel California" continues to entrance listeners even though during its heyday the song was on the charts for only nineteen weeks and in the number one spot for only one.īecause its lyrics contain an ominous undercurrent, many have appeased their sense of disquiet by finding in the words literal and figurative meanings that just aren't there. Origins: The Eagles' 1976 album "Hotel California" has sold more than 16 million copies, spawned a best-record Grammy, and is regarded by numerous rock critics as one of the best albums ever. Wine is an important symbol of the blood of Christ for Catholics and many Christian denominations. According to my very protective, but wonderful teachers, this was yet "more proof" that the song was about a Satanic cult. The mentioned lyric is a reply to a request for wine, in the song. ![]() Reference was made to the lyric, "we haven't had that spirit here since 1969," as meaning the Spirit of Christ had not been present since 1969 upon organization of the cult. Music by the Eagles was not allowed due to the "fact" that the song Hotel California was about a Satanic Cult organized in California in the year 1969. My fellow high schoolmates and I (class of '85) were warned of the "evils" of certain types of music and were not allowed to play anything that was not approved by the nuns, at our school dances. It's even been said that if you look on the album cover, you can see Satanic High Preist Anton LeVey in one of the windows. I remember hearing as a kid that the Eagle's megaplatinum song "Hotel California" was about Aleister Crowley's mansion near Loch Ness, and the weird goings-on that supposedly happened there including such "clues" as the line ".they stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill The Beast" (Crowley's nickname). Further rumors have it that the Eagles are Satan worshippers, and that Satan appears in the window on the "Hotel California" album jacket. For some unknown reason, it became known as the "Hotel of 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). There's a rumor that’s been around for some time concerning the Eagles’ song "Hotel California". ![]()
