Flipping channels and run into Ms. Lavigne in a live concert in London. Ugh! I saw her a few weeks ago doing a Metallica song. Again, ugh! When announcing nominees for Grammy awards she didn’t even know who David Bowie was and even pronounced Bow like a dog barking. She seems to be just another manufactured artist. She’s right up there with Alanis Morrisette in terms of manufactured. I don’t believe they wrote much of their music and are just puting on a facade. What really made me concerned was that the Avril concert was packed.
There’s a lot of good acts that deserve more play. Music that’s just darn good, written and played with passion and is authentic. That’s what I want to see.

hey–i hate avril too. i can’t stand her and i would like nothing more than for her just to Go Away. But I feel I have to defend her. She’s Canadian. And they, like the English, pronounce the man’s last name Bough-ee. Not Boe-ee, like those of us here do. In the south, a lot of people pronounce his name Boo-ee, like Bowie Knife.
Ithis is the first (an di imagine that very last) time i’ve ever felt compelled to defend avril.

Sara,
Thanks for replying. I understand where you are coming from but when I saw her make the statement it really looked like she didn’t know who he was. No matter, we agree, she needs to go away.
