Yes! I just realized his musical success going through my high school Wikipedia page of notable alums. I remember Kevin- he was one year behind me. I remember him in band and assemblies. Etc.
He seemed to go into a funk after he felt Cheryl Crow "used" him. He went from kind of an innocent youthful guy, like in my Giraffe video, to some edgy and even darker stuff with Toy Matinee.
Edit: I think that Queen of Misery might have been the song he wrote taking a shot at Crow. Kevin allegedly wrote All I Wanna Do and a few other songs off her debut album, but was not given attribution.
