"The group never touched in Mexico and me personally I never was there. Once I crossed the borderto Jurez but I return immediately. I realize that was not a great example of Mexican culture. I havemany desires to go", mentioned.

To whom would be delighted to have it in some disk would be guitarist of Jalisco, Mxico, CarlosSantana. "If Carlos calls me Ill say yes in that very instant", assured.

The bassist replaced Randy Meisner and participated in the production of the album The Long Run in1979. In this disk printed its thin voice in the theme "I Can' t Tell You Why", inspired in a sentimentalrelation that for now, said, "does not remember".

On his income in the group and the recording of this album, the musician related that the othermembers asked him to do some original contribution.

Coincidentally, he had a fragment of a song and he showed to Henley and Frey, who helped him tofinish what eventually became a big success.

Sadly, a year later the Band broke and took a rest of 14 years.

About the "Hotel California" theme, that in 1976 was recorded in the history as a hymn of the band,the bassist assured that is stupendous to form part of a group that has in history a so famous themein the world. "It is really amazing", summarized.

Which it is the one question that Media do more to Eagles?

"Always they ask us whats behind the Hotel California lyrics recalled Schmit, "but to me does notcorrespond to respond because I entered to the band after this song was done".

The same Henley clarifies the true origin of this theme, that does not speak of a particular Hoteleither of satanism, as has been said.

"The Anton LaVey thing (founder of some black Church), who said that is a satanic theme and allthose things, is not true, we never knew him and we never had a relation with him", says Henley.

"The reality of this song, since my point of view, is that speaks of the loss of the innocence, of theexcesses in the culture of the United States, is on the battle between the good and kindness and theevil, among the spiritual nature of the man and the animal instincts".
