well, i believe that the whole Hotel California is about the great gap Between the hippie-life-on-the-fast-lane-love-peace-flower power shit that was so hip in the 60s and the 70s and america's reality at the time ind this gap's affections on people's life.
i'm not an american and wasnt even born the this time (i was born in 1983, i live in jerusalem, israel).
so this one's too - as apettytheif said, its about losing your heroes and about the feelin' (believe me, i know this feeling - im a musician)which is like the feelin' you have after the party is over and the show is done -
on one hand, it's a great feeling cuz you really had a good time and maybe even have learned from other people things you take with you to your private life, but on the other hand, you feel - "well, party's over, gotta get back to my-one-room apartment. maybe will watch some crappy stuff on the tv and go to sleep."
