Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air

The warm smell of colitas rising up through the air.

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy.
She'll beat you if she's able.

Take it to the limit.

Uber Awesome! I mean, just think about it! 'Its a girl, My Lord!, in a flatbed ford' HOW COOL IS THAT!

What is this, junior high?

The end of the song is the same thing 4 times in a row. Dont get me wrong, I love this song, but it does get a little bit old towards the end.

One problem I have with the Eagles is that they occasionally forget to finish their songs.

YOU can't change water to wine! Only Jesus can do that.

It's impossible to check out if you're not leaving. How can one check out and stay?

That's it Don. Just blame whatever is bothering you on your parents.

Way to go, Don! I've certainly known a lot of people like that.

I've heard this song at every wedding dance I've been to since I was nine. It's a breakup song, for goodness' sake...but there's the happy couple and their family, dancing away in blissful oblivion. It's a great song, but not the sort of thing you want to be humming on your wedding night.

It's obvious that this song is about sex.

Steely Dan The lyric was a return jab at Steely Dan after the Dan made fun of the Eagles on a previous record with the line "turn up the Eagles, the neighbours are listening".

"I Wish You Peace" is yet another song from the Eagles' "One Of These Nights" lp. After the success of "One Of These Nights" some creative differences would shake up the band's membership (although main principles and vocalist, Don Henley and Glen Frey would stay with the band), most noticably Joe Walsh going solo (and succesfully at that). The revamped group would come back in the fall 1976 with the multi-million dollar seller lp, "Hotel California" which would produced the #1 singles, "Hotel California" and "New Kid In Town" as well as the #3 hit, "Life In The Fast Lane" and the top twenty hit, "Victim Of Love". This same group would also release another multi-million dollar hit lp, "The Long Run" which would not only produce the top five title tune, but also the #1 hit, "Heartache Tonight", and the top ten hits, "I Can't Tell You Why", "In The City" and "Those Shoes". The Eagles also firmly established themselves as a Classic Rock and Classic Hits artist for all time. But shortly after the success of "The Long Run", in 1980, the Eagles announced to the world their breakup and both Don Henley and Glen Frey would have successful solo careers well into the 1990's (Henley would also gain notarity for his liberal and environmental views and working for and giving financially to liberal and environmental political causes and candidates). The Eagles' would reform (the late 1970's version, minus Joe Walsh) in the mid-1990's for another lp, and several brief tours.

"Visions" is another track from the Eagles' 1975 4th lp, "One Of These Nights".

"Hotel California" is one of the best known Classic Rock tunes. It was a #1 song from a #1 album from the Eagles in 1977. Of course the state that is given a shoutout to and is in the title, is of course, California.

Refers to the town of Winslow, Arizona.

This is a good slow and upbeat song to dance to, but it's all about a woman who does nothing but lie.
