Does anyone know if Simon specifically named the song for the David Vetter case? That was generating popular headlines around when Graceland made. --Monochrome _ Monitor  04:38, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

SN1987A
I had thought that the lines, "The way we look to a distant constellation That's dying in a corner of the sky" referred to Supernova 1987A, first discovered in January, 1987. But it looks like the timing is off. Does anyone know of any relevant references? (Also, is interpretation of lyrics something appropriate for a Wikipedia article?)
