Answer: a shimmering light

The song starts out by saying "On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair. Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air. Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light. My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim. I had to stop for the night." I have never heard of "colitas" being referenced to outside of the lyrics of this song.

From Quiz Classic Album Review: "Hotel California"

Answer: The San Francisco hippie scene

The song "Hotel California" was the first song written for the album and became the focal point for the entire album. Don Henley, drummer and vocalist, in a 2016 interview with "Rolling Stone" magazine stated, "They're the same themes that run through all of our work: loss of innocence, the cost of naivete, the perils of fame, of excess; exploration of the dark underbelly of the American dream, idealism realized and idealism thwarted, illusion versus reality, the difficulties of balancing loving relationships and work, trying to square the conflicting relationship between business and art; the corruption in politics, the fading away of the Sixties dream of "peace, love and understanding." Subsequent material also remained close to these themes.

22. What burned so bright in the second line of the song 'Saturday Night'?

From Quiz Anatomy of a Song: 'Saturday Night'

Answer: The moon

"The moon burned so bright and the time went so slow" Sometimes it seems to me that good times go very fast, and it's only the bad times that linger, but if you really think about the good times, it can be as if they lasted a lifetime. 'Saturday Night' was released on the Eagles' second album, 'Desperado' in 1973.
