"Legal Battle Unfolds Over Handwritten 'Hotel California' Lyrics"

Three men are on trial for allegedly conspiring to own and sell manuscripts of Eagles hits, including "Hotel California," without the right to do so. The defendants claim they acquired the papers from a writer who worked with the band, but the Manhattan district attorney's office alleges they conspired to obscure the documents' disputed ownership. The trial, which includes the Eagles' Don Henley as a star witness, offers a rare glimpse into the band's creative process and the dark underbelly of the American dream portrayed in the iconic song.
