Rocktober Alphabet: W is for The White Stripes



The most dynamic, haunting rock of my generation, Jack and Meg White brought roots-blues, American myth, biblical imagery, and garage punk noise noise noise to their fans.

Cultivating a southern gothic personal mystique, the pair made more genuine rock with just drums and a guitar than most full bands could dream of. Though they've broken up (as of February, '11), It's going to take people a very long time to forget about their music.

Jack's other projects (The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather, etc.) are good- he is an astounding creative. He will always be remembered first though, as Jack White,of The White Stripes.

Go enjoy the whiskey fueled, raw musings of an original, American madman genius.
