[bomp] before/after
The Cathay closed down in about '86 or so, but Raji's quickly took its place.
Dobbs had worked at the Cathay before starting up Raji's.

Good to know. I totally missed the first half of the '80s; went out so many
times between 1976-1979 that everybody I knew was telling me "YOU GO TO TOO
MANY CONCERTS" so I buckled to that and tried to see if I could live some other
kind of existence... that didn't last! But, it lasted from 1980-1985... until
Greg Shaw opened the Cavern and I could no longer resist. Thank you, Bomp,
BTW...
I kinda also thought that from '76-'79 I'd seen the rise and fall of the best
Punk stuff and what was new wasn't flippin' my lid. I especially hated Black
Flag, but they became the big thing locally... I wanted no part of that. One
of the last shows I went to was Madness with the Go Go's opening for them in
1979... Whisky a Go Go... final time until seeing X there out of the blue in
1982 for some reason. August, 1979, I "dropped out" by moving to Hawaii (which
also didn't last)
