ohhhhh bad memories for me.
Stoned outta my fucking head on serapax,mull and the cheapest grog of the time which i think was blackberry nip mixed with fucking cola.
I remember the song.
Like i remember wakin up the next day in someone elses clothes in a strange house.
I never did find my original clothing,nor did i find out exactly what happened that night.
But when i hear the song now i feel violently ill and see blood splashed up walls and lotsa lit candles.
Should i worry?

ok fine, I'll start.
This song reminds me of a time I was on a summer retreat, I must've been only 11 or 12 at the time when this song became really popular... but we were at this lodge in North Carolina, and I will never forget the intimate relationship I had with my best friend Julie, and my first real life crush with a guy named Greg Bostwick. He was a preacher's son, a real wild one, but we hit it off and I was in puppy love like I've never experienced in my life.
Hotel California will always evoke these memories for me. Nostalgia... it hits us old women all the time. heh.

revealing my utter sappiness..
Hotel California isn't my nostalgic music, but I know just what you're talking about. I can't pinpoint any specific song at the moment, but I can name two albums...
There has not been one major move I've made or experience I've had that Sweet Baby James and Sounds of Silence were not with me. Honestly from early childhood, listening to my parents albums...to utter homesickness at camp...going away to high school, college...everything in between...they've been there with me and became like an obvious appendage.
When I saw Art Garfunkle in concert last summer (the joy of seeing Garfunkle is that he sings all the old S&G songs with that sad, pretty voice) I relived my whole life...those songs came with me everywhere.
I'm going to throw up now.

Don't throw up - I just cleaned the floor.
I get that way, weirdly enough, about Cat Stevens' "Tea For The Tillerman" album. It gets me nostalgic for two reasons: 1) the music was on the soundtrack to "Harold & Maude", which was one of my alltime fave movies as a teen; and 2) my dad listened to it lots during my single "happy" year of childhood, age 8.

Over and over...
This song pops in and out of my psyche.
As a teen, I first really enjoyed it at my uncle's home. My uncle is someone special who lived a challenging and short life, rife with obstacles that he approached with courage, determination, humor and never losing the ability to love.
In college, the first man that I thought I loved, we performed in coffeehouses and at pubs...music! Silly folks. (Always have sex on the brain?)
As I entered into adulthood, it often came up at special times.....or during quiet times allowing me time to reminisce upon two very special people.
Cool!

I thought 1977?
It makes me think of one particular weekend when 3 families (including my own) went to Salt Springs, FL to camp, dive, and just have a good time. On the way there and back the song played over and over and over.
We all sang, kids and adults. Happy memory for me. Still there are some moments of sorrow. I was in junior high when this song was popular and I am transported to the halls of hell and puberty and trying to figure out what the hell was going on. I felt so good carrying Robin's violin across school to the orchestra room. She never kissed me- she went for one of my best buddies, the quarterback of the junior high football team. I guess she just didn't like me (I was a wide receiver and defensive back).
