The Eagles have had a miraculous 52-year odyssey, performing for people all over the globe; keeping the music alive in the face of tragic losses, upheavals and setbacks of many kinds.

The Eagles announce final tour, release tour dates

Forbes' Top 10 Highest Paid Entertainers in the World in 2019

The Eagles have filed a lawsuit accusing the owners of a Mexico hotel of using the name &quot;Hotel California,&quot; arguably the band&#39;s most famous song, without permission.

In a complaint filed late Monday, the Eagles said owners of the 11-room Todos Santos hotel in Baja California Sur &quot;actively encourage&quot; guests to believe the hotel is associated with the band, in order to sell t-shirts and other merchandise, and make guests feel welcome.

This allegedly included piping &quot;Hotel California&quot; and other Eagles songs through the hotel sound system, and selling t-shirts in that refer to the hotel as &quot;legendary,&quot; resulting in apparent confusion among many guests who posted online reviews.

The Eagles also noted that the defendant Hotel California Baja LLC has applied with the US&nbsp;Patent and Trademark Office to register the Hotel California name.

&quot;Defendants lead U.S. consumers to believe that the Todos Santos Hotel is associated with the Eagles and, among other things, served as the inspiration for the lyrics in &#39;Hotel California,&#39; which is false,&quot; the complaint said.

The lawsuit filed in Los Angeles federal court seeks a variety of damages and a halt to any infringement.

Neither the hotel nor the lawyer who filed its trademark application immediately responded on Tuesday to requests for comment.

The Todos Santos hotel was named Hotel California when it opened in 1950, but went through a series of name changes before a Canadian couple, John and Debbie Stewart, bought it in 2001, and according to the Eagles began using the original name in marketing. Its website is ((http://hotelcaliforniabaja.com/)).

&quot;Hotel California&quot; is the title track from the 1976 Eagles album of the same name, and won the 1977 Grammy award for record of the year.

It is known for its long guitar outro featuring Don Felder and Joe Walsh, and complex lyrics sung by Don Henley.

In an interview with CBS News last year, Henley said the song is about &quot;a journey from innocence to experience. It&#39;s not really about California; it&#39;s about America.&quot;

The case is Eagles Ltd v Hotel California Baja LLC et al, U.S. District Court, Central District of California, No. 17-03276.

The Eagles sue 'Hotel California'

Al Pacino, The Eagles, James Taylor, gospel and blues singer Mavis Staples and Argentine pianist Martha Argerich were celebrated Sunday for their lifetime achievements at the last major arts gala attended by President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle.

It was a bittersweet moment, with Obama making one of his final goodbyes to celebrated artists as president.

The first couple received an extended standing ovation as they entered the Opera House of the Kennedy Center, a monument to the late president John F&nbsp;Kennedy.

&quot;This is a joyous day. It&#39;s the best Christmas present!&quot; Staples told AFP on the red carpet about receiving a Kennedy Center Honor, considered the nation&#39;s highest recognition for performing artists, just before Obama leaves offices.

At 77, Staples lives up to the maxim that age is only a number. &quot;People ask me, &#39;Mavis, when are you going to retire?&#39; Retire for what? I love what I&#39;m doing and I intend to sing until I can&#39;t sing no more, forever,&quot; she said.

Sean Penn, Garth Brooks, Aretha Franklin, Kevin Spacey and Ringo Starr were some of the A-listers who serenaded and hailed the legacy of the award recipients during the star-studded performance hosted for the third consecutive year by late night talk show host Stephen Colbert.

&nbsp;

Obamas celebrated&nbsp;

As he kicked off the evening, Colbert said America was lucky to have a &quot;passionate, intelligent and dignified&quot; president. That brought loud cheers and applause from the crowd. Colbert then joked: &quot;Sir, I don&#39;t know why you stood up, I was talking about Michelle.&quot;

At a White House reception prior to the reception, Obama called the awards &quot;one of the parts of the job that I will miss&quot;.

Obama jokingly asked Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh, a notorious troublemaker, not to trash the White House because he is leaving soon and wants his &quot;security deposit&quot; back.

The Eagles were set to be honoured last year but postponed due to the illness of founding member Glenn Frey, who died in January. He received his award posthumously.

Grammy Award-winner Juanes performed &quot;Hotel California&quot; with guitarist Steve Vai, who said before the event that playing the piece&#39;s famed guitar riff in front of the musicians was &quot;surreal.&quot;

Taylor, 68, performed &quot;America the Beautiful&quot; at Obama&#39;s second inauguration in January 2013, while Staples, who like none other provided the music of the civil rights movement, sang at Kennedy&#39;s inauguration.

&quot;In 1968, when James Taylor signed with Apple Records, I was in Vietnam and America was at war abroad and in turmoil here at home. We were fighting and marching to the music of (Jimi) Hendrix, the drumming of Ringo (Starr), the Doors, the (Rolling) Stones, and the (Grateful) Dead,&quot; Secretary of State John Kerry said Saturday during a reception at which the artists received the awards.

&quot;And amid the darkness of that era, James Taylor returned sunlight to our minds, conjuring up the warm images of snow on the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston, deep greens and blues as the colours of choosing, and moonlight ladies singing rockabye to &#39;Sweet Baby James.&#39;&quot;

&nbsp;

Surprised?&nbsp;

Argerich, 75, is widely considered one of the world&#39;s best, if reclusive, pianists. For nearly two decades, she largely shunned solo performances, playing almost exclusively with orchestras and chamber ensembles, until a sold-out recital at Carnegie Hall in New York in 2000.

&quot;I was surprised. I didn&#39;t think I was entitled,&quot; Argerich said of learning she had won the award.

Academy Award nominee Don Cheadle hailed Pacino as being humble about his long and storied career that has seen him perform in some 100 films and plays, including &quot;The Godfather,&quot; &quot;Scarface, &quot;Sea of Love,&quot; &quot;Heat&quot; and &quot;Scent of a Woman&quot;.

&quot;His gift, for all the inspiration and intensity that he brings to his roles, is that he lets us into what his characters are feeling,&quot; Obama said.

Bulgarian police detain 45 Red Star fans over violence

Multifaceted actor Al Pacino, acclaimed for his movie roles as a mob boss, a druglord, and even Satan, is among the performers to receive this year&#39;s Kennedy Center Honours, one of America&#39;s top awards in the arts. 
 
Pacino joins a wide-ranging group of musicians -- rock band the Eagles, rhythm-and-blues legend Mavis Staples, singer-songwriter James Taylor and pianist Martha Argerich -- on the roster of Kennedy Center award winners announced Thursday. 
 
President Barack Obama will receive the honourees at the White House for the 39th annual gala on December 4, and footage of the star-studded event will air in a primetime special on December 29. 
 
&quot;These honourees represent what is possible when creativity is not just cultivated, but unleashed,&quot; Kennedy Center Chairman David Rubenstein said in a statement. 
 
Pacino&#39;s nomination comes as little surprise: The star of &quot;The Godfather&quot; trilogy has long been considered one of America&#39;s finest actors. 
 
&quot;Al Pacino has embodied some of the most powerful characters of our time on both the stage and the silver screen,&quot; said Rubenstein. 
 
The Eagles might also seem overdue, if only because the band was to have received the award last year but had to withdraw because of frontman Glenn Frey&#39;s failing health. 
 
(AFP) 
Frey had planned to attend this year&#39;s celebration, but died in January. 
 
&quot;The Eagles&#39; ambitiously-themed albums epically merged the American West and rock n&#39; roll, paving the way for unconventional music makers and artists to come,&quot; said Rubenstein. 
 
Three more solo musicians filled out the group, including gospel and blues singer Staples, whose music &quot;served as a musical backdrop&quot; to the Civil Rights movement, Rubenstein noted. 
 
The chairman called Taylor &quot;one of the defining musical figures of our time&quot;, dubbing his music &quot;the soundtrack of our country&quot;. 
 
Born in Buenos Aires, Argerich made her US debut in 1965 and went on to become &quot;one of the greatest pianists of the 20th and 21st centuries,&quot; said Rubenstein.
