Life is tough, but too bad I'm not. Life is painful, but too bad I ain't bandaid.

Happy 20th, Tragic Kingdom!

Released: October 10th, 1995

Following the slow American triumph of their Tragic Kingdom LP (released in October 1995, it finally reached No. 1 in December 1996 and has sold 6 million copies [as of early 1997]), it has been warmly greeted worldwide as a record that speaks the international language of pop.

If Gwen Stefani lost the love of her life, she also gained her subject matter. One of the many ironies surrounding No Doubt is that this music, which is frequently dismissed as meaningless, superficial pop, is fully in the tradition of the heartfelt, intimate, pop-poetic confessional. If you want to know what happened between Gwen and Tony, read the lyric sheet. 

The day she wrote the lyrics to one of the most direct and pointed songs, “Happy Now?”, she was really proud. So she phoned up the person with whom she usually shared both her triumphs and disasters. Tony. “I was, ‘Dude, I totally wrote the raddest song – I have to read it to you. Promise you won’t get mad at me.’”

Of course, everyone expects Tony to be mortified now that the barbed hymns of their relationship are sung by millions. But at worst he is bemused, and at best, amused. Tony says, laughing. “Am I going to storm off the stage?”“That would be so rad!” hoots Gwen. “You should shake me and then walk off. We should do that as a publicity stunt.”

Rolling Stone, 1997
