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:
“Have you ever been up in your plane at night, alone, somewhere, 20,000 feet above the ocean?... Did you ever hear music up there?... It’s the music a man’s spirit sings to his heart, when the earth’s far away and there isn’t any more fear. It’s the high, fine, beautiful sound of an earth-bound creature who grew wings and flew up high and looked straight into the face of the future. And caught, just for an instant, the unbelievable vision of a free man in a free world.”
—Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)
“These people figured video was the Lord’s preferred means of communicating, the screen itself a kind of perpetually burning bush. “He’s in the de-tails,” Sublett had said once. “You gotta watch for Him close.””
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
