I remember a few years ago when Avril Lavigne was just starting to get big, there was an interview in some tabloid that I must’ve have been reading in a waiting room or something where someone in her camp was talking about how she was originally a country singer. The studios got a hold of her and put her in trashy outfits and marketed her as the new revolution of punk. The interview also included an excerpt from a magazine article where she said she had no idea who the Ramones or the Sex Pistols were. I’ve never been too much into punk music, but even I know who the flipping Ramones & Sex Pistols are. I think I cried that day for the state of music.
So the question now is, did somebody reprogram Avril? Because she’s apparently hanging out with Paris Hilton now, and the least punky thing I can imagine someone doing would be hanging out with Paris Hilton, panties or no panties.
