I lived it! california dreamin was the closest thing to heaven on earth. a music revolution like no other in mans history. hotrods, surfing, hot weather, fun-fun-fun, girls, water skiing, cruisen northern calif, in corvetes, camp grounds, the hippies, smoking weed, all the great friends and characters. best memories, and best time to be alive. the wolfman jack! remember him? take me back!
I think this song started the whole California kind of mellow folk rock sound that we attribute to such bands as America and the Eagles. This is an extremly well written song. Ventura Highway Going to California and Hotel California like this song are not only describing California as a place but a state of mind.
Most rock songs are trash... just 3 or 4 simple chords, and a lame, pathetic attempt creating a weak, repetitive melody. The goal is to make a profit selling CD's to the target audience of 11 year old girls, who are the biggest buyers of recorded music. In contrast, this tune has a good chord structure and melody. Moreover, the harmonies are good, and the performance is done with strength and confidence.
I swear, I was Born in the wrong era,, Classic :)
