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. 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. I’ve looked, and though it is fuzzy… damned if it doesn’t look like him. 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”.
