THANK You! Did you see The Cure on "Icon" recently? Ahhhh! I saw them in concert, 1992...what a great show!
I don't know "Jack" about Jack White other than he went out with Renee Zellwegger last year or something like that? Read it in a "goss" mag! LOL May or may not be true...I do love their music. DH, who is a musician, HATES them and pokes fun at the simple basslines and instrumental playing all of the time, says our 2.5 yr old plays more sophisticated drums, but I still like them...I like it simple! ROFL Musicians can be such "snobs".
Y'know who my new crush is? Well, I have 2 actually...Adam Levine (Maroon 5) and well, not really a "crush" because I don't have the "hots" for any of them, but I am nuts for their music, "The Killers"...love em! I also love me some "Queens of the Stone Age"

Ain't that the truth! Dh is a musician, and refuses to even listen to them, to get past the initial impression, and actually hear the music! I don't give a d**n about technical brilliance, or whatever (though Jack is), I just care if the music affects me and makes me feel or not...
And yeah, Renee and Jack were together for awhile, before they broke it off for good around Christmas...I liked them together

jack & renee i hope they get back together..LOL!
jack is bloody brilliant & that's all there is to that people are always talking about meg's drumming..lol ~ poor girl. their music is simple & raw/ beautiful.
they have a new album coming out soon.. it's titled -Get Behind Me Satan- lots of talk/hype about it going on, can't wait.
Oooh, The Killers boy is super pretty. I saw the Maroon 5 "Cribs" the other day and they were super funny. They live in this super tiny apartment. My rock star crush has to be Beck. Hummina. And I must admit I have an older man crush on Tom Waits.

Lucky you. i bet those early days were very cool. did you ever see 2 star tabernacle, or just he & meg?
It was just he and Meg, when people still believed they were brother and sister. Jack used to do upolstering with this person I worked with. She said "He was always such a nice boy, but so...shlubby".
I used to have the biggest crush on Robert Smith, too. I remember seeing them after Wish came out and I was SO mad at my mom because she wouldn't let me wear black lipstick, lol. I put it on in the bathroom after we got to that show and snuck clove cigs with some little pasty goth boy.

Jack and Beck tunes, huh? DO tell...
I was trying to find anything to tell me about their collaboration lately, and didn't find a single thing, not even a mention...I musta been looking in all the wrong places.

When I saw them, Jack had to go and tell Meg every time she was going to have a drum change. He would walk over and kind of shout "change" and she'd do the chorus beat or whatever was coming next. It was funny.
Doesn't the Jack/Beck stuff show up on the new Beck album? I need to get my mitts on that album post haste. Beck is a new papa, too. Very sexy.
I just read in my trashy gym mag that Renee is dating someone else-Damien Rice I think. She kind of squeebs me out. Something about her bony bony shoulders...

i heard that too about damien rice, he's the irish guy, right? yea, she's thin.. but i like her. still holding out for her & jw..lol, ~
Now I gotta go look up Damien Rice....Isn't it too soon for her to be getting over Jack!?!?! She is supposed to be making her way back to him, dammit!
I like Renee, too, and was so happy that two people I really liked were together....it makes me feel better about the fact that there isn't a chance in Heck that I will ever be in her position! LOL Even if the sky fell down, and Jack actually did want to have anything to do with me, I still love my dh too much to leave him....darn it!
Yeah, I was trying to figure out what the new Beck album was that Jack worked on, but I couldn't find any mention of Jack, so I was not sure which one I needed to look for.
I wish people would leave Meg alone...she brings her own energy and dynamic to the group, and they wouldn't be the same without her. Sure, there are plenty of people who could drum as well or better than her, but they wouldn't be her, and they wouldn't have the influence she does over Jack.
