From enduring musical achievements to drugfueled chaos and bedhopping antics the L.A. pop music scene in the sixties and seventies was like no other and journalist Barney Hoskyns recreates all the excitement and mayhem. Hotel California brings to life the genesis of Crosby Stills and Nash at Joni Mitchells 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.
