During a court session on Wednesday, Eagles co-founder Don Henley expressed his belief that the lyrics to iconic songs like “Hotel California” should never have been put up for auction. Henley stated that he always considered the lyrics to be his property and had never authorized their sale or distribution to anyone else.
The trial involves rare-book dealer Glenn Horowitz and rock memorabilia enthusiasts Craig Inciardi and Edward Kosinski, who are accused of attempting to sell approximately 100 handwritten pages of Eagles lyrics through deceptive means. The trio faces charges including conspiracy to possess stolen property.
