             THE LAST RESORT

    In 1976, the Eagles were a fairly popular band in the world of popular music.
They had to follow up their breakthrough album "One of These Nights which topped the charts.
Don Henley and Glenn Frey were writing one day and out came "Hotel California!"  Along with that hit, came crowd favorite in-concert hit "Victim of Love," along with "New Kid in Town", "Wasted Time" and the very telling song entitled "The Last Resort" which says "...put up a bunch of ugly boxes; Geez, people bought them...".  "Hotel California" was the number one album of 1976 and certified 16 times platinum.  "You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave!"  Sad, but true.
