A bit of a twisted start to a 25 minute escape into music and stories about people and places, hotels and motels, as we check into the Astor, Hotel Happiness, The Amsterdam Hilton, and what Don Henley says Hotel Cali is really about. Plus, two songs that inspired Records & Rockstars sister podcast, The Blue Hotel, The Memory Motel, and to wrap we'll take a ride in a Deathcab, and pop a psychedelic pill.
