"Hey Jack, you might get 6 into me before I get 1 into you but I don’t miss. And actually I ain’t that young. I got 300 songs out and 150 unreleased plus a new record on the way which puts me about even with your entire career output in a third the time. To quote Jay Z, “you sound a little naive in those articles I read”, talking about just last fall you had to stop watching the news, vicious cycle, somethin’, somethin’, somethin…..you’re getting too old for this shit Mr. Suzy Cream Puff. I was born in 1984 surrounded by cotton fields and I never trusted the media from the beginning. That goes for my whole generation old man. The younger they get the less they trust the machine. What wore you out on the media? Epstein Files? pandemic? 9/11 wasn’t enough? Gulf war 1? Gulf War 2? The end of Net Neutrality? The telecommunications act? Vietnam? How bout JFK getting offed in Dallas back in 1963? You know all this. But like Trump or any politician, you play to your base. I don’t care what you said in you’re songs. I’m talking about your public statements back when it was on the line in 2003. Look up my first record A Stolen Jewel. I been about it. Lemme guess, you got Che Guevara and Malcolm X on your shelf, maybe even Fred Hampton, but at the end of the day you get in the Lamborghini and put your kids in private school. I’ve seen behind the same curtain as you, and if you don’t play it just like they say they’ll never let you on the radio. So how’d you get on there? Ask UMG about CC, they hate me because they couldn’t own me. But I digress…The point is some art kids lied for publicity at my expense and you poured gas on it stereotyping me at a glance. Go ahead and conveniently ignore the fact that they lied. Same hypocrisy as the demagogues you claim to stand against. Lucky it was me, too strong to beat, around long enough not to let it kill me, but when that kind of public shame gets dumped on some poor kid who ain’t ready it might mean their life. Happens everyday big hoss. If you want the smoke, I’m your man."

My personal opinion about that is this is just straight up pathetic at this point. Charley is SO HURT about most people not taking his side on this debacle (even before Jack kind of inserted himself in it) that he just can't help but to make things worst.

“Icky Thump,” “The Big Three Killed My Baby,” “The Union Forever,” and “Little Acorns” would like a word.

Well, I took the time to make my Frozen Charlotte figure by hand; I made it out of plaster and then painted it with enamel.

Over the weekend I discovered that there is a hidden song on the Sea of Cowards album. Specifically on the center label of the record, on both sides.

I’m sure many of you already knew this, but it’s something I hadn’t heard of before. I’ve found tons of fun dead wax etchings on almost every Jack or TMR record I have, so discovering another hidden thing is so cool!

So I took a peek at mine, and saw some grooves on the label, and sure enough, I’ve got one that has the extra songs!

That makes me happy, especially because my husband recently sold some records (!!!!) and one of them (unbeknownst to me), was an original Sea of Cowards. I was and am still pretty crushed by that, but we were lucky enough to have two copies. We bought them before we met!

But anyway, It’s so much fun to continue to find hidden fun things in these records, songs, or even stuff from The Charlatan.

Jack White ready to rock Seoul tonight at 7pm! 🎸

Was in Nashville to see My Chemical Romance and couldn't leave without visiting 😍 It was a lot smaller than I was expecting but it was easy to get to with parking available right across the street. Snagged a magnet for the fridge and a new shirt. Very cool place

We went back to the Rock Hall this last Wednesday to see the new/featured SNL exhibit, Wings exhibit, and the Revolutionary Women in Music exhibit, but of course what I was most excited to see was the added White Stripes collection in the New Inductee Exhibit. Fucking INCREDIBLE. They have on exhibit the outfits Jack and Meg wore on the cover for Icky Thump, Meg’s peppermint kick drum, one of Jack’s guitars, and two amps. Remarkable to see the Icky Thump suits up close, the details are all individual buttons. My question is: does anyone have the photo they used for the wall outside saved or know where it came from? I had never seen it before we went and I think it may be my favorite photo of them ever. Was it a poster or from a magazine? Anyone know?

This was from Birmingham last year. I know Jack doesn't say Icky Trump like he has before but just thought I'd post this here again because the sentiment remains the same. FUCK ICKY TRUMP
