Toledo, Ohio is known for many things, Rock and Roll is not usually considered to be one of them. However, many consider Toledo as a source of innovation and trend setting.
Are you a familiar with a band called the Eighties (or “the 80's”?)? I believe
they were from the Toledo area (back in the 1980s) and had a single called “Tough
World” or “Cruel World” or “Living in a Tough World”.
