Gwen Stefani Goes to Prom


I didn't want to write about Gwen Stefani today, but she and her family sent out a Christmas card and some people that think Gwen Stefani is still famous started to have emotional breakdowns over it. She's married to Blake Shelton you know. 

Gwen Stefani had a pretty amazing comeback in the early 2000s? Is that when that was? But I want you to know she was in No Doubt in the 1990s, and they had a couple of hits but they really weren't as big as some people would have you believe. How do I know this? I was there that's how. In the 90s. 

I'm sure No Doubt could come back today and do a stadium tour that would sell out even today because Gen X is worse with the nostalgia then the Boomers ever were and I bet very few people could actually name more than one or two of their songs. So what happens now is you get middling performers that should have vanished 30 years ago getting stories written about them in 2023 because they're wearing an ugly prom dress on a Christmas card with their big headed husband. And today's "famous" people are from TikTok and Instagram and they're only really known to a few million people and they aren't really famous enough to fill the celebrity void. So you get stories like this... A 1990s singer sent out a Christmas card.

It's entirely possible that she's doing something now that makes her super popular but I don't pay attention to what musicians from the 90s are doing today
