When you put something out there into the world, theres all these words you dont want to hear, that you hope people dont say. I dont like anything that starts with re – like retro, reinvent, recreate – I hate that. Its always like living in the past – copying, emulating. – Jack White
I dabbled in things like Howlin Wolf, Cream and Led Zeppelin, but when I heard Son House and Robert Johnson, it blew my mind. It was something Id been missing my whole life. That music made me discard everything else and just get down to the soul and honesty of the blues. – Jack White
