I will not be surprised to learn that Avril Lavigne has lately been getting a lot of crap from her punk fans. They must hate her new album, which she titled The Best Damn Thing, a lot. It is what they would call a sell-out. The Canadian sensation, who wowed us with Complicated and Sk8er Boi from her first outing Let Go and who became punk’s favorite heroine with Under My Skin, has sold out to the pop devil. Forget the rocker Avril. She has joined the company of Britney Spears and Hilary Duff.
