"The Boys of Summer" by DON HENLEY

Don Henley's "The Boys of Summer" is a song for what summer leaves behind. The song itself is one Tom Petty left behind.

@codinghorror A cover that improves on the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW7WS-O2hjA

(Other good covers by Au Revoir Simone, and Daddy Issues, but not on the tubes in acceptable quality.)

Really interesting, thanks for linking that one.

I am fond of the more conventional cover by the Ataris ("I saw a Black Flag sticker on a Cadillac") and the more recent one by American Football was pretty good too.

@CliftonR @jwz @codinghorror I always preferred the Bree Sharp cover, personally

You're right, I didn't know this one but it's a damn good version. I'll have to give a listen to more of her music.
