At the time, U2 had just become arena-level established with War the prior year.  This was considered a critical letdown at the tim...

This record had 5 hits, none of which I could stand.  "The Boys of Summer" made my skin crawl and forcing myself a start to finish listen to this in headphones was an exercise for sure, which is why I did it. Would I discover anything?  I have to admit, I've had it in for Henley since the Eagles first broke up ev...
