...........The White Stripes replace Dylan's world-weary, fatalistic air with one of defiance & anger. Love Sick is another in a long list of Dylan songs that could be interpreted as open letters to his fans. Another meditation on the Artist's relationship to the marketplace, which drives his art........I know what you're thinking....."You got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend", right?......

.........It may seem odd to say that Jack White is under-appreciated, but i believe it to be true. he has a scholar's love of the roots and a rebel's approach to them. He knows his Son House, his Robert Johnson, Willie McTell, and he knows his Hendrix & Stevie Ray, His Neil Young & his Ry Cooder. As the White Stripes or in any one of his side projects he displays a prospector's enthusiam & an...

The White Stripes' Jack White and R&B singer Alicia Keys will together perform the theme-song for Quantum of Solace, making the 22nd James Bond film the first to feature a duet. After months of rumors of who would be the one to be given the duties of starting out what looks to be an incredible film, the pr...

The summer is officially over for me, tomorrow I head back in to start another year of teaching. Granted the kids dont arrive for another two weeks, but I know this is my last night as a "free" man. Summers have always been special to me, warm weather and me seem to go together hand in hand. It has been an odd summer for me as well, for the first time since I can remember I did not go and see a...

Its almost been a year since I left MOG, found myself a working mans job and felt I had to focus all my attention to the students in my room. I left MOG unemployed, and am coming back a fourth grade teacher. As the end of the school year is approaching I know I am going to have to have something to fill my time. While I was teaching I spent the majority of my nights journaling, something I had ...

Worried that the city of Detroit hates him, Jack White wrote a little poem about Motor City. The prose, titled "Courageous Dream's Concern," is in response to some misinterpreted statements White made about D-town since his departure for Nashville two years ago.In 2006 he told the "Associated Press":http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2006-05-25-jack-white_x.htm that he had to leave Detroit bec...

The White Stripes at their live ferocious best.But what I really wanna know is........where is everyone.I wonder if this will post.

My second (following Icky Thump) favourite song from this album has a video out. I think that no one has posted it before but it doesn't hurt to see it again even if it isn't so. I like it not for the bullfighting part (I loathe the "sport"), but for Jack Whites' hilarious facial expressions :)Enjoy:Run, Jack, run!

As I have previously said, I was rather late to appreciate the **White Stripes** .I was put off by all the silly hype and the fact that at one time ??everyone?? wasso taken by them....But I have become a great fan now. **Jack White** is clearly steeped in the history, the roots & off-shoots of rocknpop music and revels in exploring and experimenting with them.**Dylan's** world weary ruminatio...

After a year and half apart Jack White, recently touring with his other band the Raconteurs, reunited with his pseudo sis/first wife/bandmate Meg White in a melodramatic send-off to Late Night host Conan O'Brien. The duo performed a slower than usual, acoustic version of their White Blood Cells track "We're Going To Be Friends." After almost sixteen years in the Late Night with Conan O'Brien s...

......Music with a sense of......awareness of it's own history. Give **The White Stripes** Another Listen. **Jack White** has consistantly exhibited an uncanny ability to plumb the depths of rock's roots in an amazing array of styles. The "band's" progression and development has been impressive as they find pathways to Rock, Pop, Blues, roots within their signiture sound.

Back in July, we reported on a little proclamation Jack White made to the Edmonton Sun, which we thought was noteworthy: “I’m re-releasing every record I’ve ever been a part of,” he said. “So I’m collecting all the old ones and getting them back on...
