Hotel California

I was born 1976

Top: Album cover for The Eagles’ Hotel California (1976). Bottom: California State University Channel Islands main building, previously Camarillo State Mental Hospital. The resemblance is striking, though the band members deny that the song “Hotel California” was inspired by the mental hospital.

And of course, the song lyrics could be about the story of someone becoming a a patient in the Camarillo mental hospital, where ghosts and demons roam:
Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said, “We are all just prisoners here of our own device”
And in the master’s chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can’t kill the beast
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
“Relax”, said the night man
“We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave”
