Jay discusses one his favorite 90’s band, the Gin Blossoms. New Miserable Experience was one of the first music books he obtained in middle school and the band holds a special place in his heart. Formed in 1987 in Tempe, AZ, the band didn’t achieve major success until it shed its founding member and songwriter, Doug Hopkins, in 1992. The band’s success grew as Hopkins’ mental health and alcoholism declined, ending tragically in his suicide in December 1993.

Songs:

Gin Blossoms - “Hold Me Down”

Gin Blossoms - “Hey Jealousy (Live in Tempe AZ Sept 1989)”
