Specialty Definition: No Doubt

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

No Doubt is an American alternative rock group whose music is heavily ska and new wave influenced.

The group first formed in December 1986 with John Spence as lead singer. He committed suicide in 1988, leaving Gwen Stefani lead vocalist. The band developed a reasonable live following, but it was not until the release of 1995's Tragic Kingdom and the single Just a Girl that the group achieved mainstream commercial success. The second single, Don't Speak, written about the dissolution of Gwen and Tony Kanal's romantic relationship, was also a hit. Tragic Kingdom has sold over 15 million copies worldwide.

Publicity for the group was mainly focussed on Gwen and her image as a strong woman in the rock and roll industry, her hairstyle and clothing copied by teenage girls worldwide something like Avril Lavigne in 2002-3.

Their most recent album, Rock Steady, featured another hit single, Hey Baby, with a notably more studio-influenced flavour.

John Locke

1690

And no doubt Ulysses, who was a prudent man, preached up passive obedience, and exhorted them to a quiet submission, by representing to them of what concernment peace was to mankind; and by shewing the inconveniences might happen, if they should offer to resist Polyphemus, who had now the power over them. (Second Treatise of Government)

Moreover, the French Government have no doubt that the provisional maintenance of the regime of 1815 as to the free zones referred to in the above mentioned paragraph of the note from the Swiss Legation of May 5, whose object is to provide for the passage from the present regime to the conventional regime, will cause no delay whatsoever in the establishment of the new situation which has been found necessary by the two Governments. (reference)

Winston S. Churchill

Lexicography

Devil's Dictionary

CUPID, n. The so-called god of love. This bastard creation of a barbarous fancy was no doubt inflicted upon mythology for the sins of its deities. Of all unbeautiful and inappropriate conceptions this is the most reasonless and offensive. The notion of symbolizing sexual love by a semisexless babe, and comparing the pains of passion to the wounds of an arrow -- of introducing this pudgy homunculus into art grossly to materialize the subtle spirit and suggestion of the work -- this is eminently worthy of the age that, giving it birth, laid it on the doorstep of prosperity.
