"“In terms of all those big acts you name, the recording industry has made a gazillion dollars on those masters, more than the artists have,” said Don Henley, a founder both of the Eagles and the Recording Artists Coalition, which seeks to protect performers’ legal rights. “So there’s an issue of parity here, of fairness. This is a bone of contention, and it’s going to get more contentious in the next couple of years."

I find it quite hilarious that an ultra lefty like Don Henley speaks like a conservative on personal property rights when it comes to his and his friends music but wants all the rest of us to "share the wealth" in every other aspect of our lives. I will say I love the tune Boys of Summer. That's one point in his favor.

In the immortal words of Mojo Nixon, “Don Henley Must Die.”

And, to boot, the artists signed those contracts. It’s hard to complain about fairness and parity when they entered into the deal of their own free will. Those same contracts are now giving them the rights to renegotiate now, so it is folly to decry one part of the deal while praising the other .

The music of which was composed by someone else. No one would care about Henley's lyrics with bad music.
