There’s an interview up from Charlie Rose with Jack and Meg White on Youtube (friend to moochers everywhere). I found it pretty interesting since Jack’s a unique guy, putting out great music but not full of himself. Also he has a straw hat and seemed very intent on toying with his cane. Meg even speaks a few times. One thing they touch on is that their American fans are different than their fans in other parts of the world, specifically that America has a distinctive hipster crowd that aren’t long term fans, instead likely to come and go.
I know there are those people and wondered if I was like that. I know I do tend to get really into a band and then move on but I still keep them in my rotation and don’t get tired just because they’re not the hot thing of the moment, but I want to hear lots of new stuff so it doesn’t allow really deep fandom of any group for long.
You forgot to point out that Meg has big cans. Not much of a drummer though.
I saw them live a couple years ago, right when “Seven Nation Army” made them huge, and it definitely felt like a hipster crowd. Hell, the people I went with didn’t really know their songs.
That Jack White is one heck of a guitar player I tell you what.
