CSOTD Bonus Edition: Gipsy Kings - Hotel California

Could we do California Week without mentioning Hotel California?

Probably. There is a long list of songs I didn't get to this week. Obviously, I didn't get to any of the Beach Boys music. Or a thousand other bands associated with California.  But, again, that wasn't really the point of this week.  Tomorrow, we will wrap up with a couple of songs I feel go far to encapsulate what I was trying to bring out this week.

I'm especially frustrated I couldn't get to California by Rogue Wave.  But there's the link, check out that mellow classic.  Any song that begins with the line, "Screw California" should get a mention.

And Hotel California probably shouldn't get a mention.

But here we are.  Featured prominently in the Coen Brother's masterpiece The Big Lebowski, the Dude had a rough night and he hates the f&%#*&' Eagles, man, so here is an outstanding cover version that will gladly put a smile on every face and spring in every step for this Friday night.  Even The Dude.

The Dude Abides.

I don't know about you but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there. The Dude. Takin' 'er easy for all us sinners.

This one's for you, Dude.
