    Listened to Don Henley's "The End of the Innocence" (watched the Eagles doc on Netflix; tremendous) there's the verse where he says kids were "poisoned" by the idyllic upbringings, damn that's sad.

    Going to go with Elton John's "guess that's why they call it the blues." Other than that, I am drawing a blank on anything really sad.

    Charted in 1990 in the US and UK, not an 80s song.

    I had thought about that when I wrote my post. Yet, after pondering it, I think "Luka" is actually quite inspiring as it brought up child abuse during the good-times of 1987. People thought about the issue for a time.
