HOTEL CALIFORNIA-
1976- BEST QUOTE OF OUR 60s and early 70s- Lost soul, high, in desert of lost hope, is
spiritually dying, but sees a hotel, like a mission church, with a beautiful
woman, death, inviting him inside to rest. Heaven or Hell, guided by
Death, he hears other residents welcoming him to their lost world.
California or californication is often a symbol for a lost cursed land of
plenty but wasted, in its ruined beauty it seduces lost souls to their ruin.
Lady Death has all the riches of Benzs and her vapid pretty boys, empty
of feelings, the "guests" dance in the heat of Hell. The
wine/spirit of 1969 is gone, the idealism of the Sixties, abandoned to empty
pleasures that need excuses to tolerate. The room is copy of brothel with
champagne riches. The people there put themselves there via empty chases
after sensation and that lure keeps them chasing. They try to eat and
kill their sins, but The Beast, Satan, can not be killed. Escape
is impossible. You can check out, die, anytime but can never escape your
wasted life.
The Eagles Hotel California [Remastered] 01 Hotel California-1969
·
Written by Don Felder, Glenn Frey and
Don Henley, this song is about materialism and excess. California is used as
the setting, but it could relate to anywhere in America. Don Henley in the
London Daily Mail November 9, 2007 said: "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."
On November 25, 2007 Henley appeared on the TV news show 60 Minutes, where he was told, "everyone wants to know what this song means." Henley replied: "I know, it's so boring. It's a song about the dark underbelly of the American Dream, and about excess in America which was something we knew about."
He offered yet another interpretation in the 2013 History of the Eaglesdocumentary: "It's a song about a journey from innocence to experience."

ENTREVESTOR: Moncton startup helps monitor cost of kids’ online games
Flanagan and Pichette are the co-founders of Itavio, a product that helps parents monitor and control how much money their children spend on online games. These games are often advertised as free but with options to buy bonus features. Some kids have been known to rack up thousands of dollars in bills before their parents catch on.
Itavio has developed a product that lets gaming companies effectively market their products to the estimated 148 million teens that play these games and a free app for parents to make sure their children don’t overspend. These components work together to make sure children don’t get carried away and that gaming companies have happy repeat customers.
“It takes a village to fix a problem like this,” Flanagan said after presenting at the Atlantic Venture Forum in Halifax last week, days after the company relaunched its website.
“If you’re a gaming company, you can’t just say, ‘I just spent all this money producing all this content and now I have to turn it off.’ And for the parents and kids, there’s a pattern of spending being formed that’s unpleasant to fix.”
Early in 2014, Flanagan and Pichette took their Moncton company (then called KinderGuardian) through the Propel ICT tech accelerator. They did well but had one problem: they had just formed their company and didn’t have a product yet.
So in the last year, the four-member team refined the business, raised $275,000 in funding, spent some time in San Francisco and filed for a provisional patent. Most importantly, it finally finished an initial version of the product for the mobile gaming industry.
They are now beta-testing Itavio with two games that were released by a single studio. They are also asking people to sign up for the product ahead of the full launch at Itavio.com.
Itavio allows parents to set limits for their children’s spending, almost like giving them a digital allowance. Parents can use the app not only to restrict spending but also to monitor how long a child is using the game.
Flanagan says the system helps game makers, who actually pay for the product.
First, they don’t hear from infuriated parents whose kids have racked up a huge bill. That also means there are fewer negative reviews, which have an adverse effect on sales. Second, gaming companies know how much money each customer has to spend so they can market products to the child appropriate to their budget.
Itavio can also reduce a gaming company’s cost of hosting a young client and thereby improve the profitability of each game.
Flanagan and Pichette, who have both worked as game developers, are focusing on the $22-billion mobile gaming market, in which there are 57,000 unique developers worldwide.
“This is a space we know really well,” said Flanagan. “It pays to play (fair) in it, and we’re going to show people how.”
