[BC] Why FM took off in the 70 s

[Ron Cole]

The Eagles and Hotel California...
But I like both versions, the original Hit and the Reunion Remake.

I head an artist say when asked whats the most important thing about writing
a song?
"Is this a song I can sing for 35 years?"
Then then said its a simple little song with only has 3 cords in it but, yea
I wrote it.
Want to hear it again?
