Music Video
The music video, directed by Francis Lawrence, centers around an impromptu concert held by Lavigne in a Los Angeles street intersection. It begins by showing multiple people promoting the concert in advance via graffiti, flyers and posters. Lavigne and her band arrive at the location and begin performing on the roof of their car; a crowd quickly gathers. Towards the end of the song, police cars and a helicopter arrive to disperse the crowd, while Lavigne uses her guitar to break the car windscreen.
The video was considered the third 'Best music video of the decade' in the UK by BT Vision.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“It is hard to describe the thrill of creative joy which the artist feels when the conviction seizes her that at last she has caught the very soul of the character she wishes to portray, in the music and action which reveal it.”
—Maria Jeritza (1887–1982)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
