He ripped!

The 90s are unique in that there are 2 types of alternative rock that sprouted out of that decade. The heavier, grungy type which has the likes of Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden, then there's this type of easy-listening alternative rock. Now 2 songs embody that 2nd alternative rock type. Toad The Wet Sprocket's "All I Want", and Gin Blossoms' "Hey Jealousy. Listening to any of those 2 songs instantly flashes me back to the early 90s. Good times man. I'm so proud to be a 90s kid

As the Gin Blossoms experienced mounting success performing songs he had written, Hopkins became increasingly despondent.[2] Although he had always dreamed of having a gold record, when he received one (for the song "Hey Jealousy"), he hung it up for two weeks before taking it down and then destroying it. Nine days later, during an intake consultation in the detox unit of Phoenix's St. Luke's Hospital, Hopkins snuck out and bought a .38 caliber pistol. The next day, December 5, 1993, Hopkins committed suicide

RIP Doug......he looks so happy here...hearing his lyrics.
