I’m sorry Paul, but you are mistaken. I wasn’t clear enough in my last post so it’s partly my fault. I didn’t mean Mr. Crowley himself did a photo shoot for the album, I just meant that someone is in a black cape and hood on the balcony and it represents Mr. Crowley.

Also, you don’t have to be trying very hard to make the connection! The Eagles put it all out there for everyone to see and hear. Why else would a man dressed like that be in a Hotel while everyone else looks normal? If it were about an asylum as you say, people in the lobby would have had on straight jackets and their would have been Doctors around. That wasn't the case! The lyrics of the song hit too much around the subject of Crowley’s following to just be several coincidences. It’s obvious what the song is about.

To me the only real question is: Did they do it because they really worship the devil or just for the publicity to sell the album?

When you ask yourself this question, keep in mind that Don Henley’s initials are also the same as “Devil Hell”! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
