   I don't know why I said Day.  I remember their last live performance in   
   May 1983, I wasn't there, but I did see Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds on   
   December 31 1983, one of the best live performances I have ever seen.   
   Seattle Grunge seems aerated after that.  I did see Mudhoney live in   
   1988 in Melbourne.   I also saw Sonic Youth live in 1987 with Nick Cave   
   and his friends in the audience.  There was a band called The Wreckery   
   who I called Grunge in the 80s.  I think Hugo Race was in that, he was   
   also in The Bad Seeds at the very beginning.   
      
   Well the 90s was an awful decade I will never stop putting it down. Read   
   90s should read 80s when these things come up.
