Music Appreciation (A Retrospect)
From Temple, Arizona, the rock band Gin Blossoms
hit mainstream rock with Hey Jealousy
. Written by Doug Hopkins 
about his old girlfriend, the upbeat tempo was contrary of his life. Hopkins struggled with alcoholism and depression which eventually caused him to commit suicide.
The hit single from their first studio album New Miserable Experience
, caught the attention and admiration of alternative-rock-loving-teens like myself. I recall listening to this song driving around McAllen, Texas in my blue Pontiac Sunbird with my close high school hoodlums: Drew, Wendy, and Cathy.
