Advance praise for Hotel California"A British rock critic obsessed with America, Barney Hoskyns brings a genuine love as well as an outsider's keen eye to the rise and fall of the California scene in the sixties and seventies. This is a riveting story, sensitively told." -Anthony DeCurtis, Contributing Editor, Rolling Stone"Comprehensive and lively, Hotel California offers a front-row seat on the wild ride-fueled by drugs, sex, and lots of cash-that took Southern California singer-songwriters from hot tubs and local bars to sold-out stadiums, private jets, and the bestselling album of all time." -Alan Light, author of The Skills to Pay the Bills: The Story of the Beastie Boys"One of our finest pop historians reappraises a neglected and often maligned milieu. Barney Hoskyns deftly evokes not just the decadence but the sense of discovery rooted in 1960s idealism and fostered by a gaggle of record industry mavericks who, for a brief period, managed to make art and business coexist." -Simon Reynolds, author of Rip It Up and Start Again
