STEELY KNIVES & CLEVIE FORKS
More checking out, but not leaving, of the Hotel That Will Always Be In California: Matos points out a passage from an Erik Davis piece on the Sun City Girls: "Before heading to Tayngbyon to film the Nat Pwe last summer, Rick and Alan bought two 8 dollar guitars and entertained Burmese folks along the way. They improv'd plenty, but after being hounded for weeks, they finally broke down and learned to perform their most requested tune: 'Hotel California.' They knew that, when it comes to the desires that inflame human music, you just can't kill the beast."
