		Doug remained friends with the band, and particularly Lawrence, and both of the parties were happy for the Chimeras to continue playing the songs that Hopkins had written in the band.
		After Doug's death, the Zubia brothers began to replace old Hopkins tunes with new songs they'd written, both to establish the band in it's current form, and to because of the memories that playing a set full of Hopkins tracks would bring, though still held onto a few of the previous Hopkins songs.

		Doug: State officials say they can now only afford to provide free coverage to children in the poorest families, those who make less than the federal poverty level, about 18-thousand dollars a year for a family of four.
		Doug: With governments, especially state and local governments, struggling for funding, it may be that private sources will bear more of the burden of helping poor families get health care.

		This album stands as a sad memorial to Doug Hopkins' ability to craft winning songs out of the abject misery of his own life.
		Hopkins had been thrown out of the band he formed before NEW MISERABLE EXPERIENCE was released, and by the time "Hey Jealousy" and "Found About You", two of his most engaging and self-deprecatory songs, had broken the band in America, he had taken his own life in a fit of depression.
		The album is not entirely about Hopkins (Jesse Valenzuela's "Mrs Rita" and Robin Wilson's "Allison Road" are also strong contenders), but it is his songs that remain longest in the memory.

		The group was founded and spiritually led by singer-guitarist Doug Hopkins, who also wrote the band's best songs; by the time New Miserable Experience, the band's major-label debut, was released, Hopkins had been kicked out (his bandmates had apparently tired of dealing with his alcoholism).
		Shortly after the album's release Hopkins killed himself, and the band subsequently enjoyed the biggest hit of its career with "'Til I Hear It From You" (which, perversely, never appeared on a Gin Blossoms album, but only on the Empire Records soundtrack).
