Blame it on Don Felder.
Ian Anderson said that he considered “Hotel California” to be a tribute.
Then he showed his watch and said it was a “tribute” to Rolex....LOL!
If you watch the documentary on the Eagles you’ll come away thinking Frey and Henley are two of the biggest jerks in Rock music...............and that is saying a lot. They were both a couple of left wing propagandists. Felder seemed a lot more down to earth.
The Dude abides and he was right about the Eagles.
