and came again yet again mystified as to how there’s much of anyone who thinks Nirvana were better live. I mean, I’m not really MYSTIFIED, but I feel like the guy sitting there at the desk with a “change my mind” sign on the front.

It’s pretty hilarious to me that in 1989 they were still wearing those cutoff denim shorts and dorky striped socks as the precursor to the “grunge” look, when they basically just look like the losers I just saw hanging around the bars at night in the second half of Slacker.
