DALLAS—Expressing frustration that neither presidential candidate had requested consent to use his smash solo hit from 1984, Eagles vocalist Don Henley filed suit Wednesday against both Donald Trump and Joe Biden’s campaigns for not playing “The Boys Of Summer” at their events.
“Fans tipped us off to the fact that Biden and Trump weren’t using ‘Boys Of Summer’ for any of their in-person or virtual campaign appearances, and we felt we had no choice but to take legal action,” said Henley, whose lawyers filed a civil complaint against the campaigns detailing how the classic-rock radio mainstay would make a perfect complement to the message of either candidate. “We find it unacceptable that it hasn’t been played even once at a 2020 rally, especially during the summertime.
I sincerely & unironically adore Boys of Summer.

The Eagles are more of a cover band now. One original member performing.

My favorite song!
PaulSorrentino3 In 1980 paramedics were summoned to the home of Don Henley of The Eagles, where they found two girls, aged 15 and...
The article just made me laugh to the point of physical pain.
Well as the song goes... 'Out on the road today I saw a MAGA sticker on a 2004 truck A little voice inside my head said: That sticker sucks, what a sick fuck'
Or 'Don Henley Must Die!'
He’d be the one to do it, it appears. More Onion future-telling.

I will give subtle respect if either campaign plays The Ataris version...
Fun fact: For many many many years I thought the lyric was 'I saw a 'Dead Ahead' sticker on a Cadillac' and had no idea what that could mean. Ok, so it wasn't *that* fun a fact.... But still....
Come on Don... Take it easy
😂 😆 I detest that song. I adored him, could do no wrong kinda stuff, until that song
could be true
Hahahahaha
