The Avril Saga
I managed to get my hands on an Avril CD. Here's how it happened. First of all, I had never really heard any of her music. I had heard people talk, and always assumed it would be bad, but I never really knew. Then, I had this school project, in one of my art classes. Our assignment was to listen to a CD, and create images for the cover, inside booklet, etc., based on the music. We were to work in groups to do this.
My group was at a stalemate when it came to deciding which music to do. We went to CDUniverse.com to pick an artist, and were turning up nobody. The guidelines were that the music had to be school-appropriate, which automatically ruled out Eminem and Tupac, the musicians that the guy in my group wanted to do. Finally, after several suggestions and no decisions, the girl in my group said "Look, I have an Avril Lavigne CD at home. Why don't we do that." I said fine; that sounded great. The guy in my group had already said he didn't care.
So we did an Avril CD. My assignment was to take it home, put it into the computer, and get it into the MP3 player so we could listen to it in class.
Of course, I listened to it. It was very much better than I expected. There were several songs that I heard that really had an impact on me. Not to say that I like Avril's image very much, but I have a new respect for her music.
