I can picture Doug sitting in his crummy apartment watching his friends play one of his best songs on national tv without him. Tough situation for all involved. You really can't blame Doug, he was sick. And you can't blame the band for moving forward. I'm just glad his songs are still being played and appreciated, he deserves that. Peace.

It still makes me ache to remember hearing the news 26 years ago, living in Phoenix and somehow feeling a connection with the Blossoms and Doug. What I longed for most was to hear the songs he'd write once he finally got a wilingness to stay sober, no matter what band he was in. RIP to a brother I never met.

My favourite song of the past 20 years - if I hadn`t blown the whole things years ago I might not be alone - great breaking heart and head lyrics and succinct, enormous melody, cracking singer - sad ending - I guess that was in the lyrics if anyone had of listened - all in all a most amazing piece of pop culture. VVG of enother era, another form, another dab of wonderfulness, just different tools, same conclusion - RIP

read doug hopkins bio on google. they (the record company) really screwed doug. too sad. he was in rehab (out patient i think) but couldn't handle the depression he suffered through from childhood. i myself have suffered from depression since my folks split when i was 10 years old. now i'm 63 and probably happier than ever. i credit my loving wife, grandchild and most of all God's grace for guiding me through some terrible, unthinkable years. Depressed people self medicate and don't understand it only makes matters worse. i feel for doug. i miss him and pray he's in a better place.

While it's terrible what happened to Doug Hopkins, keeping him on would have destroyed any chance they had at success. While recording New Miserable Experience, Hopkins was unable to stand during recording sessions. It got to the point where it was so bad, the band was going to lose their contract if they didn't let him go. While I feel for Hopkins' plight, as I suffer from depression too, you can't destroy everything around you because you don't want to get help.
