They have the same last name, right? But, haven't they denied being brother and sister? When I first them, I thought they looked related not married.

Not a stupid question at all actually... kind of an interesting dynamic between them.... actually they WERE married.

Obviously since divorced, but were a band before they got married and have stayed a band after... pretty cool.... he is now apparently VERY involved with..(drumroll please) Renee Zelleweger.

Initially, they claimed to be brother and sister, until a reporter dug up the fact that they used to be married. Understandable that you would have been confused.

As I understand it, the official version is that they are brother and sister and that the topic is not to be discussed.

However, like the Jedimaster says, the truth was outted and everyone accepts the alternative version of events, ie. that they are a divorced couple. It's certainly the line that all the media have accepted.

Now why did Jack beat up Jason from the Von Bondies? That's what I want to know.

Didn't he take her name? I think her last name was White, and he took her last name... something like that.

Whatever they are to eachother... THEY FUCKING ROCK!!!

hey ned.

the fight between them (if you can call it that, when only 1 fought) has been brewing for awhile. they have actually fought before, although not nearly as serious. have you seen the pix? Jason is a bloody/swolen mess & Jack has only a few cuts on his hands where he hit Jas.

the feud basically stems from Jack producing the VB's 1st album, and then later, Jason said in interviews that Jack really didn't have that much to do with the album or its critical acclaim.

of course, Jack disagrees...and 1 thing leads to another.

version 2 to the story (....ahhhh the detroit soap opera continues) claims that the dispute is also strengthened between the 2 because Jack used to date 1 of the chicks in the bondies & she has now been linked romanticaly to Jason.

rumors have been pretty a'plenty here in the D for the last couple years that Jack has quite a temper and has actually been in several fights with members of other local acts-
but no-one wants to come forward because The Stripes have done so much for the D-troit scene & tons of acts are "riding on their coat-tails."

no-one wants to piss off Jack and perhaps ruin their chance at The Stripes assisting their careers at some point.

the drama continues here on March 9th...

when Jack starts his court case and The Von Bond's new album is released (talk about Sire cashing in on controversy)

tune in next week for the new details to the continuing saga

Megs last name is White, Jacks last name isn´t White. He took it from her. It´s not a secret, though.
See the man with the blue guitar, maybe one day he`ll be a star...
