Avril: We Love You 'Bitch'!

A motley crew of Black Star fans (that's how Avril Lavigne calls her fans) brought this banner last night during her concert.  Very outspoken displays of artists affection, especially as a big group of fans are rare during concerts.  The last time I saw one was during Hanson's show here last year.

Avril is very lucky because she has this young fanbase that can follow her career as she gets older.  At least, when she's 40 or 45 and she decides to have a nostalgia tour, her fans who will grow older with her will surely watch her shows, may pera pa rin ang lola!
