From a conversation I'm having with my lovely friend Laura out in B.C., concerning her take on Simple Plan: "When they first came out, I didn't mind them, but once I heard a couple more singles, I noticed a stark similarity: all they do is b**** about life and how nobody else understands trivial little problems that every d*** person goes through. 'Welcome to my life', please. Welcome to the life of the majority of the friggin' world, kids."
Classic music journalism, off the cuff. Well played.
