A few weeks ago when I was arguing with Camille and Julie about Courtney Love (they think she's a parasitic no-talent mega-bitch and I think she's a messed-up person who is nonetheless extremely talented and also a strong woman in rock) -- I challenged Camille to name another strong woman in rock. When she named Gewn Stefani, I completely scoffed at her. I would not accept Gwen as an answer. Camille's justification was that it's truly "punk" of Gwen to be able to tell someone that you want something that isn't thought of as "cool" (i.e. getting married and having a kid). I didn't accept this at the time, but now I sort of see where Camille is coming from. I also give Gwen extra mad props for dealing with figuring out all of these feelings and situations in the public eye and through her lyrics which -- though I don't love No Doubt's music -- nonetheless intrigue me. Spin also just ran a pretty interesting piece on Gwen and No Doubt.
