Titled the \u201cCelebrating 30 Miserable Years\u201d tour, they performed the 1992 album in its entirety. Wilson said: \u201cIt was hard to make <em>NME<\/em>, but we knew it was special. It\u2019s humbling that it still resonates and we still have jobs in the music biz.\u201d Guitarist Jesse Valenzuela added, \u201cIt\u2019s funny how time slips away.

The title was inspired by the wishes the band would receive from fans and listeners who reacted to the multi-platinum success of <em>New Miserable Experience<\/em> and the tragic death of the band\u2019s Doug Hopkins, who died in between the two albums.\n<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stereogum.com\/2176297\/gin-blossoms-robin-wilson-new-miserable-experience-anniversary\/interviews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>In a 2022 interview with <em>Stereogum<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, Wilson reflected on the stakes leading into <em>Congratulations I\u2019m Sorry<\/em>. He said: \u201cThere was just so much pressure on us to make a good record. Following up your multi-platinum debut with your sophomore record, there\u2019s no bigger challenge for a major-label musician, to have to live up to that success, to have to start from scratch. <em>New Miserable Experience<\/em> included songs that were written over a period of years. Some were written before Gin Blossoms even formed as a band. But with <em>Congratulations I\u2019m Sorry<\/em>, we had to do it without Doug for the first time\u2026 That was the biggest amount of pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<!--US \/ UK English--><\/p>\n<p><!--mvp-post-tags--><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.udiscovermusic.com\/news\/gin-blossoms-good-morning-america\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gin Blossoms stopped by Good Morning America and performed two classic cuts: \u201cHey Jealousy\u201d from 1992\u2019s New Miserable Experience and \u201cFollow You Down\u201d from 1996\u2019s Congratulations I\u2019m Sorry.
