Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night" ~ The Eagles
"Some of the wilder interpretations of that song have been amazing. It was really about the excesses of American culture and certain girls we knew. But it was also about the uneasy balance between art and commerce.
"It's a song about the dark underbelly of the American Dream, and about excess in America which was something we knew about." ~ Don Henly

We look forward to having y'all as a part of our train!
