Hotel California

I chose to review Hotel California by the Eagles because they are very sentimental to me because I grew up listening to them while riding shotgun in my dad’s truck. This album was released in December of 1976 by Asylum and became one of the Eagles best selling studio albums of all time.

Without Leadon they brought in Joe Walsh as a guitarist/keyboardist who brought a harder rock sound to the band. This album, compared to their 4 previous albums,…

never thought of this more than just another song. As I've grown up I've realized that it is much more than just that. The song “Hotel California” was written by the eagles in 1976.

They are warmly welcomed and the traveler tells the story as it happens in real time. I believe this song tells a tale of seeking fame, fortune and all…

about Northern California and all of the amenities that it has to offer and why it is a better choice than visiting Southern California.

field trip to Lava Beds National Monument. This trip would be amazingly exciting. Lava Beds National Monument is located in the state of California. California calls the monument their "best-kept secret." This is because not everyone knows about this beautiful sighting park. The park was formed when it was uncovered by lava and many active volcanoes were erupting. Do not worry, they are not active anymore. Also, underground lava tubes were formed as well. Lave tubes are like these long…
