What now for Jack White?

[mandolirius]

The White Stripes are no more. No particular reason given other than some vague statements on their website. But I think we all know what's happened. Jack saw some of the comments here and plans to devote all his time to his mandolin playing.

[Hardesty]

jack white + a manocaster could change everything!

[BradKlein]

Indeed, I think that mandolins have been much on Mr. White's mind of late.

Well he better not be thinking of posting on this Old-Time/Roots forum. DrEugeneStrickland would be utterly disconsolate!

[Ed Goist]

Actually, the White Stripes have decided to disband because Meg White is planning on having an affair with a 50 something, overweight mediocre mandolin player from northeast Ohio.

[JEStanek]

Careful here, boys.

[allenhopkins]

I'm betting we can't get another 14 pages out of this. But I'm just an incurable optimist...

Jack Who?

[JEStanek]

Well, a short answer to the question is this.

"The Party Ain't Over"? Somehow I couldn't find this in County Sales Old Time catalog

Well, a short answer to the question is this.

That looks interesting.

Well, a short answer to the question is this.

I wonder if it's considered "hip" now to make a modern album cover look like it was made in the 70s?

I always thought it amazingly strange that they were so amicable after the split-up...I will shamelessly admit that I dig the Raconteurs, though...mandolin content or not!!

[BradKlein]

So glad to see Jack White helping to boost Wanda Jackson's career. I've had a soft spot for this CRAZY song. The Funnel of Love!

[Gwernen]

He'll get a harmonica mic implanted in his mando....watch out, what he did to that Gretsch was just weirdness.

[catmandu2]

Strange, weird, retro, new, different, music, art.

Whatever White is up to, I don't think he's looking to be displayed in a museum.

I keep checking the homepage for "10 Questions For Jack White".

What now for Jack White?

I can only hope...obscurity. I find Jack Black to be a more interesting musician.

I find Jack Black to be a more interesting musician.

You obviously don't have a toddler.

Contrast your picture with this:



Quite hilarious episode, the orange DJ Lance Rock suit on his tubby form is pure comedic gold and he is the perfect `ultimate ham' for this kids show.

He does more than just this silly dance on the show, but that suit + dance is something to behold if you've never seen it before.

That said, it's a little difficult to take him as a serious artist after this. Entertainer ... yes indeed.

His dance made me put down my mandolin to avoid not damaging it due to laughter when I saw it the first time. [there, mandolin content!]

[DrEugeneStrickland]

One can only contribute to this thread with a sense of humor and a tongue planted firmly in cheek.... Most appropriate as the subject is worth no serious consideration in the realm of Old Time Mandolin.... I too have been laughing along!
Thanks

It annoyed me that a rock musician got the part of the mandolin player in "Cold Mountain", though I have to admit that he did a pretty good job of it.

[Dale Ludewig]

Oh no, deja vu, again..... I don't think Larry Sherman has chimed in yet?

[catmandu2]

The "Jack White" thread series is a service for fuddyduds to express their ire. No doubt Jack White himself would be amused, too.

[Ed Goist]

I think that Jack White has now surpassed "The ToneRite / opening up", Blue Chip picks, and "What is the best mandolin under $X" as the number one post generator on the Cafe.
Congratulations Jack!

Those darned kids...what they need is a good swat on the behind!
