Avril Lavigne calling herself Punk is like a 2008 American tourist going to the Europe for the first time thinking they themselves have liberated the continent from
the Nazis. I used to despise Avril and her image machine but when I heard her speak in an interview I just realised that she has the mentality of a 17 year old...
Thurston can indeed
rock out with the best of them but sadly enough it is a image/youth dominated pop world.
