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:
“The train was crammed, the heat stifling. We feel out of sorts, but do not quite know if we are hungry or drowsy. But when we have fed and slept, life will regain its looks, and the American instruments will make music in the merry cafe described by our friend Lange. And then, sometime later, we die.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
