Don Henley - "Boys of Summer" 
Building the Perfect Beast (1984) This was the first of five singles from the album and went on to peak at #5 on the Hot 100. It's my favorite of his singles and also one of the best videos of its era. I didn't realize until reading up on the song at allmusic that it was co-written by Mike Campbell of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. | |

I love the video and i think it's one of the best songs of the 1980's. Definitely in the top 10. | |

The video has to be one of the sexiest of the 80s. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Classic summer feeling song. "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!
"It's just my imagination, once again running away with me." | |

This song is sheer brilliance. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

For me, it's a song that feels like the end of summer. Gives me the same feeling The Zombies' Time of the Season does. | |

Out on the road today I saw a Deadhead-sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said:'Don't look back, you can never look back!' Awesome song, awesome memories! Henley's solo-work outdid anything he's done with The Eagles! | |

I love this song and a lot of his solo tracks, but I still prefer his work with the Eagles. Took me a long time to appreciate them though. | |

Building The Perfect Beast & The End Of The Innocence have been anthem-albums for me in the late 80's! | |

The cusp of summer and fall is simultaneously my favorite time of year and the most angst-ridden. This song gets that perfectly. Great tune. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
