If I could be Sweet

Who knew?
A major rock/pop, in-your-face, rocker like Gwen Stefani could have her own healthy amount of insecurities. Crazy. Here she talks about joining No Doubt in high school, their recent regrouping…

“Though she joined No Doubt mostly to placate her brother Eric, she soon found that performing gave her a desperately needed jolt of power. The Ska-punk scene was deeply male, she says, “So whenever I went on stage there was this automatic assumption that I couldn’t get the audience going because I was a girl. I just ignored that, like “Yeah, I’m going to be all made up, and I’m going to destroy you. If you’re not looking at me now, you’re going to because I’m going to fucking get you to look at me fuck you! Raaaarrrrhg!”

Stefani puts up her fists and growls, and suddenly, for a split second, there she is, the girl in the videos. “The F-word was my favorite word,” she adds laughing.
