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. [Edited 2/7/23 11:10am] [Edited 2/7/23 11:11am] 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). | |

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 | |

Thomas Dolby, ''Airhead'', just heard that song yesterday in my car again ! From that great album Aliens Ate My Buick !!! (What a coïncidence.)

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

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 whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves.

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 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..." "I would say that Prince's top thirty percent is great. Of that thirty percent, I'll bet the public has heard twenty percent of it." - Susan Rogers, "Hunting for Prince's Vault", BBC, 2015 | |
