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
The Dude Abides.

This one's for you, Dude.
