STORY TIME: I'm Not Going To Just Sit Here While Don Henley Gets All The Credit For "Boys of Summer"

Ok.  Quite frankly, enough is enough.  I'm not going to just sit back while Don Henley gets all the praise for his 1984 classic song "The Boys of Summer".

Mike Campbell co-wrote the song "The Boys of Summer" and everyone should know this.

Don Henley wrote the lyrics for this song.  I will give him credit for that.  I will admit that he wrote the words.  However, "The Boys of Summer" would be nowhere without the riff Mike Campbell laid down for this track.

Mike absolutely shredding.

Mike Campbell is a guitarist and record producer who is most famous for his work in Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers.  He is one of The Heartbreakers.  He is not Tom Petty.

Contractually there were no problems with the authorship of this song.  Mike Campbell is credited as a co-writer on "The Boys of Summer".  He gets royalties for this song.  Mike Campbell was paid well.

My issue is that people see Don Henley's face on the album cover, they see his name on Sirius XM and on Spotify and they don't give Mike Campbell the time of day!

Mike Campbell co-wrote this song!  Ok!  Think about Mike for once in your life.  Come on!
