We’re heading back to 1984 to unpack Don Henley’s Building the Perfect Beast — the sleek, soulful follow-up that defined his solo sound. From “The Boys of Summer” to “All She Wants to Do Is Dance,” we dive into the album’s mix of nostalgia, social commentary, and California cool. Join us as we explore how Henley built one of the most sophisticated pop-rock albums of the ’80s — and maybe his true creative beast.
