Pop Quiz: Simple Plan


Aidin Vaziri | For years we thought no good music ever came out of Canada -- and then we got Alanis Morissette, Avril Lavigne and Sum 41, which proved us right. But that didn't include Quebec, which is a good thing for Simple Plan, a multiplatinum pop punk band from Montreal, out on the road promoting its second album, "Still Not Getting Any." Packed with songs about teenage alienation and the hazards of Botox, it is naturally making lead singer Pierre Bouvier a messiah for impressionable teenage girls.



Simple Plan
Q: Has one of your own songs ever made you cry?
A: Not made me cry.
Q: Did you cry at the end of "Titanic"?
A: You know, I'm actually waiting for a movie that's going to make me shed a tear.
Q: Not even when Leonardo DiCaprio got eaten by a shark and Celine Dion was like, "Whooouaraaaaaaagghgghh-ma heart will go on!"?
A: No. Sometimes I'm on the edge where I feel like my lip is trembling. But I'm still waiting for that movie that's going to make me cry.
Q: Man, you have no soul.
