"Hoskyns brings a genuine love as well as an outsider's keen eye to
the rise and fall of the California scene. . . . This is a riveting
story, sensitively told."
--Anthony DeCurtis, Contributing Editor, "Rolling Stone"
From enduring musical achievements to drug-fueled chaos and
bed-hopping antics, the L.A. pop music scene in the sixties and
seventies was like no other, and journalist Barney Hoskyns
re-creates all the excitement and mayhem. "Hotel California" brings
to life the genesis of Crosby, Stills, and Nash at Joni Mitchell's
house; the Eagles' backstage fistfights after the success of "Hotel
California"; the drama of David Geffen and the other money men who
transformed the L.A. music scene; and more.
