  • Victoria from NycArguably the most Tempe of the Gin Blossoms’ songs, and I didn’t attend ASU until 2000, but in the late 10s I lived off University not far from Mrs. Rita. I doubt most folk there at the time remembered the song, but I’ll never forget it. Perfect summation of a twenty something asking a clairvoyant for direction in the most befuddling time of their life.
  • Brian from Boston, MaAwsome song from an awsome album.If you like good rock and roll this album is for you.
