Can't say I'm especially familiar with Cave. I know the name but couldn't tell you much about him other than he had a band called Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

Seriously? Did you hear the speech? " You also had some very fine people on both sides.”
Unite the Right (the very fine people) were explicitly organized and branded as a far-right, racist, and white supremacist event by far-right racist white supremacists. This was clear for months before the march actually occurred. Trying to recast the rally instead as a sort of spontaneous outpouring from Confederate statue enthusiasts, Trump is rewriting history.

BTW, I rarely watch TV, except Yankee BB. I get my news by reading and researching - not watching!
I’d double check when SLTS was written....it was earlier than just during the NEVERMIND recording sessions.....if I remember correctly it was around 1986-88 when it was being played live....now it was a different sounding song than on NEVERMIND, same structure but no doubt different.
I double checked before answering. What I wrote is correct, what you are saying is incorrect. This is one of the biggest songs of an entire decade and it is very easy to find information about. Polly dates back to '88 and some of Nirvana's other songs were created during this period but not SLTS.
Rock and roll trivia.
"The First Cut Is The Deepest" a hit song for several different artists, including P.P. Arnold (#18 in the UK in 1967), Keith Hampshire (#1 in Canada in 1973), Rod Stewart (#1 in the UK in 1976), Papa Dee (#5 in Sweden in 1995) and Sheryl Crow (#14 in the US in 2003).
Who wrote it in 1967. NO Cheating!
The first group to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame ?
The Beach Boys had two Billboard Top Ten hits in 1964 that consisted of just one word repeated three times, name them.
In October, 1979, The Guinness Book of World Records named him / her as the most successful composer of all time for writing 43 songs that sold over a million copies.
So u didn’t head is speech then? Just read what CNN posted? Because the very next sentence out of his mouth after he muttered the famous “fine people”, he condemned the racists in attendance.
He says (after being asked a question):
“Excuse me, they didn’t put themselves down as neo-Nazis, and you had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group – excuse me, excuse me, I saw the same pictures you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.”
The very next sentence was: “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.”
Let’s break it down...
Racists, KkK, and neo-nazis are bad. People who aren’t racist and peacefully protesting are alright. Hence by your logic, he is telling Klansmen and neo-nazis that they are awesome. Sounds like it!

Unfortunately (rolls eyes) the first amendment and the right to peaceful assemble and protest extends to the grimmest of people, even the KKK. I know, Trump’s fault again even though he literally had nothing to do with signing there permits.

The part you miss, or conveniently choose to overlook, his rhetoric often lends tacit approval. He emboldens racists. That had to be the lamest condemnation in US history. They didn't have "to put themselves down as neo-nazis", as mentioned earlier no secret regarding "Unite the Right" agenda. Well known to be a far-right, racist, white supremacist organization.
