The Garden of Allah Lyrics

It was pretty big year for fashion
A lousy year for rock and roll

   The reference of the “expert witness” is clearly a nod to the circus of the OJ trial. And the line where he talks about men without souls really hits home. Then and particularly today!

   A fascinating song by Don Henley, x-member of The Eagles gone solo in this song that's not meant to be taken in disrespect for ''ALLAH'' I believe, it is just about visioning and expressing to expose the slow decline of humanity,s collective soul as a people by a certain power that came upon the Hollywood Society Circles, that have been influencing and perfecting the works towards easily sinning evenmore that has turned evil to feel o k slowly by camouflaging and sugarcoating ''it'' in so many ways. ''It'' went so far even to the point in those days when some famous people were committing the most bloodiest crimes to only become an even more famous evil image of Hollywood. So now when the DEVIL came to visit the area again, he was out off business and nobody needed his assistance anymore. They all seemed to learn and became knowledgeable to do the devil's work to perfection. He was amazed how far they all came from the days when the ''silent movie actress'' in Hollywood named ''ALLA NAZIMOVA'' turned her house and property for welcoming the stars into ''THE GARDEN OF ALLA'' as she named her paradise home. Where many Hollywood Elites started to endulge themselves there, even some that escaped Europe and Russia with memories to dream a better future and forget the sins of what World War 1 did to people's thoughts that were to be left behind. Now in these pleasurable times in her garden on THE BOULEVARD where the bulls followed even stronger when it was sold and renamed ''THE GARDEN OF ALLA[H] HOTEL'' that had many separate bungalows to rent and entertaine the herd that evolved into a ''Gamorrah by the sea'' even many years after Word War 2 to the many famous actors and actresses to endulge themselves naked at times around the pool parties that was taking place with the entertainers. Where, there in the past old days of the garden many silent movie actresses were being seduced from the Heavenly to the Earthly men made garden that finally dissapeard down with the fruitful memories that blossomed some and rotted many on the SUNSET BOULEVARD'S garden dreams.
