Sunset Grill

While it might not have the major-hit status of other popular favourites like "The Boys of Summer" and "The End of the Innocence", Don Henley's "Sunset Grill" is still a detailed but thankfully non-mawkish anecdote of dead end lives in small-town America. Check out a stellar, sturdy live take on this classic by Henley and his old comrades in the Eagles during the Melbourne leg of their infamous "Farewell Tour 1" in 2005 here.
