You know, I really can't stand it when people hate on Gwen's solo work. Yes, No Doubt was miles and heaptons better than L.A.M.B. Yes, sometimes she annoys me with her incessant fangirling of Japanese fashion.

But when she went out on her solo kick, I seem to remember her saying it was because she needed a break from No Doubt and she wanted to have fun. And you know? It's not like I've ever met her in person, but I've seen her live with her solo stuff and she's having a blast. Which is really all you can ask for when you're performing. So. You don't have to like her solo music, and I hear she's getting back with the band soon - just don't hate on her because she wants to have fun.
