Alls I know is, my old man has been blasting their music and mumbling/singing along with their songs for years and years. It hurts.
My professor was very passionately describing their musical achievements and...objectively, I can see they're a good, accomplished band with interesting lyrics and all. I wanted to try and stay and listen. But tears pop forth every time I hear the first chords of this song. My teeth start to erode...seriously, I grit my teeth every time my dad plays it and my incisors have worn away. I need crowns now. Fuck The Eagles. ;__;
After thinking about this, I guess it's not so much the Eagles that I hate as my dad, and I can't help but associate this song with him after all these years. I won't go into the reasons why I hate my dad here, hah. :X Just think of the stereotypes associated with Vietnamese fathers and multiply them tenfold.
Taken apart from my dad though, I think I still don't like this song...not so strongly to say "fuck 'em" but I just don't like the lyrics or melody or anything. That it's about the darker side of LA should have endeared it to me. (I like hearing nasty things about LA because I know despite it all, it's a pretty magical city anyway...) Yet the song is so obnoxious (the chorus, the guitar solo, everything) that it doesn't even matter.

Mostly though, it's because of my dad. :X
