Add Genre. Add Styles. Add Moods. Add Themes. Upon its release in lateafter the prolonged and dispiriting end of the Eaglesa period of personal turmoil, and a somewhat unfocused solo debut, "The Boys of Summer" not only reestablished Don Henley as a major star, it accomplished something he'd never had before in his entire career: rock critics, uniformly, absolutely loved this song, even those who had spent years gleefully making sport of The Boys of Summer Eagles ' excesses. It's not hard to do, really. Although much was made of the yuppie-baiting line about a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac although one rather doubts that Henley was driving a beat-up Datsun at the time himselfthe song's overall feel is much more personal and intimate than that soundbite suggests. It's truly Don Henley 's masterpiece. AllMusic relies heavily on JavaScript. Please enable JavaScript in your browser to use the site fully. Blues Classical Country. Electronic Folk International.

Title: Boys of Summer 10 Sep In the Season Four premiere, four boys from West play out their summer vacation in the streets. Meanwhile, Marlo has solved the problem that baffled : how to maintain discipline--read: murders--without getting police attention. Written by Anonymous. Season 4 of opens up brilliantly, to put it The Boys of Summer. Not only are we introduced to a new set-up of characters, based around the interesting idea of how teenagers on the street struggle between the choice of what is right to try and live an honest life and what is easy crimebut most of the major characters from seasons past are reintroduced seamlessly, as if they'd never been gone. I've tried so far not to fulfil the stereotype of the "preaching Wire fan" who tries to convert everyone to the show, but the fact that for 3 seasons and 1 episode I have been so engrossed within the city and the characters that I'm afraid that's about to change.

Start your review of The Boys of Summer. The Boys of Summer one does not come away from visits with them, from long nights remembering the past and considering the present, full of sorrow. In the end, quite the other way, one is renewed. From opening day until The Boys of Summer final out, my father had the AM radio tuned to the Royals baseball games. When I got old enough to ride the tractor with my father, we would listen to the game together as the ruts of the field would bounce us from side to side. Baseball made the world seem bigger. My father was a dominate pitcher in high school. His back has a permanent curvature to his spine from all that pitching. This was an era before they had rules and regulations in place to protect young, developing athletes. He was recruited to play college ball. He had thoughts of being an engineer. Going to school and playing baseball were just dreams caught in dust motes Kahn grew up being able to talk baseball with his father and Ulysses with his mother. The Boys of Summer he later became a sports writer, both parents would prove to have an equal amount of influence on how he saw the game of baseball and how he wrote about it. When I was going to college in Tucson, I rented a two bedroom The Boys of Summer just off of campus. Whenever the Wildcat football team would score, I could hear the roar of the crowd, and whenever something went wrong for the team, I could hear the collective groans. To some people who visited me this was annoying, but for me it only brought back fond memories of listening to the crowd react to a baseball game from the radio on the farm. Kahn lived in close enough to Ebbets Field that he could listen to the game on the radio and hear the reactions from the crowd seconds later. The Dodgers lost seven championships before finally winning in Five of those losses were to their rivals the . I wonder, if they had won The Boys of Summer championships, if we would still be calling them the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers. I thought to myself, what would I do if they moved the Royals? Kahn had the privilege of covering the Brooklyn Dodgers in the s. When I say he knew them, I mean he really knew them. He traveled with the team. He saw them when they were ecstatic, when they were angry, when they were at their best and at their worst. We all know from documentaries, films, and slews of books about the trials and tribulations of Jackie Robinson, but I think sometimes in that narrative we forget about how important it was that the white from Kentucky offered his friendship to a black man from Georgia. Jackie Robinson and Pee Wee Reese. Reese could have easily been a man of his time. He The Boys of Summer have embraced what for the South has almost been a cultural heritage of racism. In the book, there is this poignant moment when Joe Black, a pitcher for the Dodgers, relates how he had always wanted to play baseball. He kept scrapbooks of all the clippings of his favorite players. I find it a testament to his character that he had collected those newspaper articles and had followed the careers of his favorite ball players, and it never occurred to him that The Boys of Summer were white and that none of them were black. When he went back through his scrapbook, he really peered at all the faces and for the first time saw them as white men instead of as men who were really good at playing baseball. He had been color blind until others forced him to see. Joe Black What Kahn does with this book is explore his relationship with his father. A relationship that cannot be separated from the lives of the Brooklyn Dodgers. We meet the players while they were playing and then again in their lives after baseball. There is a tinge of melancholy about the book that left me feeling a bit blue. We see these athletes at the height of the power, and then we see them later as construction workers, grocery store owners, successful entrepreneurs, and failed dreamers. Life has not been easy for most of them. They played in an era before players were receiving mega deals that made them millionaires. Few retired from baseball in the s rich enough to retire from working. It has taken me a while to realize this, but regardless of whether you are a famous baseball player, a teacher, a piano player in a nightclub, a writer, or a circulation , life is tough and uncertain and rarely follows the script of our life that we had conceptualized in our heads. A few years ago, I was talking to a young man on his farm, and his grandfather, who I thought was half asleep on his feet, perked up when he heard my name. He was asking The Boys of Summer my grandfather. I explained that he had died in long before I was born. Men long dead were alive again brushing dirt from their pants after a slide into third or making an over the shoulder catch with a glove barely bigger than their hand. My grandfather was a hard working man, but he would stop everything when it was time to play baseball. In those years, every town had a baseball team that would play against other town teams. It was serious business, a game played by men not boys, and winning was as important as The Boys of Summer bumper wheat crop. For a few moments my Grandfather shimmered to life through the eyes of a man who actually got to see him play baseball. I could feel the trepidation in Kahn as he prepared to go see him. He found Roy The Boys of Summer about in an electric chair The Boys of Summer he controlled with the palm of one hand. His once powerful legs had withered to a fraction of their normal size. He was reduced, but not diminished. His larger than life personality was still sustaining him. Inthe Royals finally got passed those boys in pinstripes to go to the World Series. We were all so invested in that team. My mother, who never watched sports before, had followed their exploits all season long and had gotten to know their names. She cheered and fretted as George Brett flirted with hitting. He finally ended the season at. The nation had become enamored with the plucky Royals, and game six of the World Series still holds the record for the most TV watchers of a World Series game. I was sitting on the floor with my chin resting on The Boys of Summer elbows, contemplating the reality that the Royals had lost. How could we lose? We had George Brett!
