A quick reply as I've got to keep an eye on dinner - my bad lyrics were definitely more like Avril's than Ashlee's!

I can't confess to knowing anything about Ashlee other than what Frank and the other poptimists dudes have mentioned, and this is why I'm being a little harsh on her. I know Avril is bonkers - I know WHY she writes bad poetry. Frank says above that the personal 'problems' lyrics can be like reading everyday livejournal entries, but on LJ I'm reading about my friends who I have a personal interest in even if they're writing about what they had for lunch. I know Avril and can tolerate her tantrums and vague hand-waving. I didn't even know what Ashlee looked like until I saw the picture at the top of this entry and so I don't trust her - how do I know she means what she says? Anyone could have handed her a sheet of paper with that on it. I don't doubt she's a great writer, but I'm just playing devil's advocate here. Could we be reading all this meaning into some words that just happened to fall out of her pen one day? That she saw on the side of a bus? I think I've been spoilt by Xenomania in this respect :-)
