- The_Last_Resort_(Eagles_song) abstract "\"The Last Resort\" is a song written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey, which tells about how man inevitably destroys the places he finds beautiful. It was originally released on the Eagles' album Hotel California on December 8, 1976. It was subsequently released as the B-side of \"Life in the Fast Lane\" single on May 3, 1977.In a 1978 interview with Rolling Stone, Henley said: \"'The Last Resort', on Hotel California, is still one of my favorite songs... That's because I care more about the environment than about writing songs about drugs or love affairs or excesses of any kind. The gist of the song was that when we find something good, we destroy it by our presence — by the very fact that man is the only animal on earth that is capable of destroying his environment. The environment is the reason I got into politics: to try to do something about what I saw as the complete destruction of most of the resources that we have left. We have mortgaged our future for gain and greed.\"On an episode of In the Studio with Redbeard (which devoted an entire episode to the making of Hotel California), Frey stated: \"I have to give all the credit for 'The Last Resort' to (Don) Henley. It was the first time that Don, on his own, took it upon himself to write an epic story. We were very much at that time, concerned about the environment and doing anti-nuclear benefit (concerts). It seemed the perfect way to wrap up all of the different topics we had explored on the Hotel California album. Don found himself as a lyricist with that song, kind of outdid himself...We're constantly screwing up paradise and that was the point of the song and that at some point there is going to be no more new frontiers. I mean we're putting junk, er, garbage into space now. There's enough crap floating around the planet that we can't even use so it just seems to be our way. It's unfortunate but that is sort of what happens.\"Music critic Dave Thompson considers it an update of Joni Mitchell's \"Big Yellow Taxi\" but says that it is \"even more weary and despairing.\" Thompson regards the line \"Some rich men came and raped the land. Nobody caught them\" to be a critique of a free market economy. Critic William Ruhlmann said of it that it \"sketches a broad, pessimistic history of America that borders on nihilism.\" Author James Perone says that it ties \"all the previous songs [from Hotel California] together in this final reflection of the dark side of California Life.\" He notes, for example, how the song lyrics contrast the beauty of the California desert with ugly suburban houses and ultimately progresses to criticize the concept of manifest destiny, on which American expansion to California was partially based. He regards the key lyric to be the line \"They call it paradise; I don't know why,\" noting the emphasis given to it by the resignation of Henley's voice and by the falling melody. Perone does criticize the use of synthesizer on the song instead of actual string instruments, which he feels sounds artificial. To Eagles' biographer Marc Eliot, \"The Last Resort\" tells \"the story of a nation's self-destruction and physical decay told as metaphor for personal creative burnout.\"".
