welcome cheebo. hope you find blogging enjoyable.
actually, i don't mind avril levigne that much. i prefer her popularity and media blitz over britney's.
as for a band that wants to stay small, i know the white stripes hate their popularity. as stated in an interview with rolling stone. and i really think that they are sincerely uncomfortable with it and wish they were still a small garage rock band in detroit. although you think they are lame for the whole bro/sis or husband/wife thing, darth. but i think that is a statement regarding the degree of privacy in which musicians are allowed. regardless, their music rocks and i wouldn't dismiss them if they choose to lie about their relationship.
