The Last Resort - The Eagles

[ItsjustMe]

My favorite song by The Eagles

In a 1987 interview with Rolling Stone, Henley said: "The Last Resort, on Hotel California, is still one of my favorite songs... That's because I care more about the environment than about writing songs about drugs or love affairs or excesses of any kind. The gist of the song was that when we find something good, we destroy it by our presence - by the very fact that man is the only animal on earth that is capable of destroying his environment. The environment is the reason I got into politics: to try to do something about what I saw as the complete destruction of most of the resources that we have left. We have mortgaged our future for gain and greed."

1. (How the West was Lost......)

Such a GREAT song! One of my faves!

"There is no more new frontier,
We have got to make it here.
We satisfy our endless needs,
And justify our bloody deeds
In the name of destiny,
And in the name of God."

2. I like this song a lot.

The album fell out of facie for a while, but I think it really has held up.
