The goofiness of Walsh is so overstated, his albums are full of meandering moody Floyd-like epics

The deal with "Boys of Summer" was Petty passed on it, right? But Jimmy Iovine liked it and shopped it around.

Yeah, Petty passed on it (though he did try tweaking it a bit with Campbell first), and then Iovine sent word to Campbell that Henley was looking for songs and asked Campbell to send him some demos. Warren Hanes wrote about it his book - it culminates in Campbell and Petty going into a car to play a rough mix of "Don't Come Around Here No More." Apparently it wasn't a good mix, and as soon as they stopped it, the car switched to the radio and they heard the final seconds of "Boys of Summer," along with the DJ raving over it and saying it was going to be a huge hit. (In Campbell's words, "['Don't Around Here No More'] wasn't finished yet, but still, BIG difference.") Petty that congratulated Campbell, saying he wish he had the foresight to hold on to that song, and Campbell then expressed his relief that Petty didn't break his other hand.

Then he wrote "Runaway Trains," which gleefully pilfers the "Boys" sound.

Speaking of yacht rock, TIL that on Patty Smythe's self titled album, one of the credited backing vocalists is Kipp Lennon.

Holy fuck, that horn section play out on “Sunset Grill” is completely ridiculous. Is that Emulator or the real thing? Guilty pleasure song, tho.
― Naive Teen Idol, Thursday, 15 December 2022 22:58 (one year ago) link
Also: Party Smyth’s ace chorus harmony, Pino Palladino’s burping fretless and the rolling Linndrum beat (credited to—checks notes—no one) while Don moans about working girls, “basket people” and auburn skies make “Sunset Grill” peak Henley. In general I’d say the rolling Linndrum songs are the best things on this album by a mile. It would appear that Danny Kortchmar’s contributions are the worst.

I know he meant it compassionately but is there a better encapsulation of Henley's putrid us-vs-them ethos than this bit:
