Not being one who likes to be told what to do, that usually turns me off pretty quick. Then I sampled them and couldn't figure out what the fuss was about. A year or two later it dawned on me: "It's only rock 'n roll..." Ahh!!! That's always been enough for me.

I used to hate jack & the white stripes. I'm still not keen on their earliest stuff. But I gotta say he is crazy talented and prolific, and has totally grown on me over the years. Haven't heard the new Raconteurs yet, but loved the first album and just got the second from the Columbus Library. I must agree. I used to hate jack & the white stripes.

And since I've always figured that Jack wasn't the type to go in for silver-haired foxes, I never dealt with the jealousy/he's trying to steal my girl issues either. I've liked him from the beginning. I also really like the fact that he doesn't keep making the same album, either with The White Stripes or with The Raconteurs. Now Meg, on the other hand, may be the Ringo Starr of her generation. Ringo's a nice guy and all, but talk about being in the right place at the right time ... Yes, Jack is pretty wonderful.

I was highly skeptical, and made fun of their sound saying that Meg was a bad drummer and Jack had a bad voice etc. BUT NOW, I am obsessed :) I can listen to Icky Thump over and over and over. I've given in. I read an interview with Jack in Paste Magazine and it was just fascinating...what a weird guy. I bet we'd be friends...I like weird people. this is SO the way I felt about the white stripes when they first came out.
