Yes I think FunkBaby was being sarcastic.

QuiveringDandelions, in the other hand, was showing his white fragility by trying to make a joke that missed the mark (because it was masking his real thoughts).

Jack White's last name was Gillis. When he married Meg White, The drummer for the white stripes, he took her name, therefore becoming Jack White. No racism there, just young love and marriage.

Hence the band name. The White Stripes. As in Jack and Meg White.

I feel ya, man. Just trying to inject some facts into the matter before everything devolves into something ugly. I've seen it happen here too often

Bravo. BTW great album. With some good pop-funky vibes inside. IMHO with some Prince flavours too.

everyone knows jack whites real last name isnt even white.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_White

he called himself white as hes prob a downlow white supremacist.

i mean, he named the band the WHITE stripes.

not the red stripes, pink stripes, grey stripes, or beige stripes, the WHITE stripes.

Just a quick further read in this article you copy-pasted, you can clearly read;

''In a reversal of tradition, he legally took her last name''

plus, clicking a bit further;

''Meg loves peppermints, and we were going to call ourselves the Peppermints. But since our last name was White, we decided to call it the White Stripes. It revolved around this childish idea, the ideas kids have—because they are so much better than adult ideas, right?"

I absolutely love The White Stripes,

live they were tha bomb, really!,

and whatever Jack White does is also fantastic and fresh to me.

But, great music is in the ear of the beholder

Peace though.

The George Clinton and Lene Lovich apearances in ''May The Cube Be With You'' are super funky and fantastic and always reminded me of Prince. Of course Dolby (must've) listened to Prince.

The MAXI single of this song by the way is just even more funky!

The real question is why is Jack WHITE releasing camille but not THE BLACK ALBUM which also could do with a re press????

Clue is in the title right there!

I see you jack!

The question is, why in the hell isn't the Estate releasing them?

While we're all anxiously awaiting domain registration on jackwhite.org,

"Fresh"? Really? Did he develop some originality post-White Stripes? Because the White Stripes, albeit a decent enough rock band (at least by process of elimination due to like 3 bands remaining on rawk Survivor), they were hardly "fresh" or remotely "original". Their entire style is like the Mr. Peabody Wayback Machine Greatest Hits wedding playlist of rock & roll's historical tropes.

The White Stripes were literally like Jack Black's character in School of Rock, and Jack Black did it a shade better... Tenancious D also have a modicum of originality vs. Jack White's xerox machine.

The White Stripes do not have a single riff that couldn't have feasibly been released in 1995 or prior.

I have searched. All I can find are articles from 2022, which all state there is no release date. BTW, almost none of those articles quote Jack White.

Why don't you post a link quoting a reliable source stating it will be released this year?

And just googling "Jack White Camille" shows TONS of articles with JW quotes in the damn headline. What the hell are you even searching for? Ceviche recipes?

Are you gaslighting me? Googling "Jack White Camille" brings up only one article from this year. And that is the article linked in the OP, which doesn't include a single JW quote in the headline OR in the body.

There was never a release date. Why are you suggesting that one was mentioned?

The article that is the subject of this thread includes statments such as "is finally about to see the light of day" and "due to the imminent release of the album..."


Anyway, WTH is the big deal about releasing this album? Every track has been released by now.
