I would be like "Hey, check it out. Remember all those bitchin' Arizona rock songs from the mid-90s that still give you chills as you drive through the desert at night? Well, I just sang them. But the guy who wrote them killed himself. That's how good they were. Can you watch my dog for a week?"

The people who hated Gin Blossoms the most were the people who loved the worst indie rock.

"Hey Jealousy" is such a magnificent song.
Funny thread, this.

N/a. I'd say I was from Spacehog
I like the approach of saying you're in a different band, to open their mind to the possibility that you're in a band that was popular in the 90s, and then once they're comfortable with that, come totally clean about being in the Gin Blossoms.

^^ yes, very otm.
also, "Hey Jealousy" is a great song, and as i've grown older, i've actually met a few people who could have been the dude singing. the "truth" of the experience being spoken to makes it an even better song imho.
