Jack White couldn't carry (A)-(C)'s guitar picks..
That said, I thought his "metal" band was cool (aluminum instruments designed for use on cruise ships). Points for weird.

I guess wankery doesn't count for everything (well, except for a significant portion of one's cd collection).

I don't much like Jack White, but I don't much like any of those things listed either.
I like ONE fried chicken and a coke, and toasted white bread is OK, but it's got to be fresh bread and there's got to be some butter involved.
But Jack White?
Meh.
Top of Page Bottom of Page PermalinkFull Name: treat island
I like butter.
I like butter.
I listened to Alone in My Home, found it sort of 2-dimensional. Tried another, they don't do it for me. It sounds like the stuff my best friend listened to in the late '70s/early '80s, sort of rough sounding pop. Not raunchy enough, nor free enough.
