THE WHITE STRIPES
21st Century Blues
Dick Porter
Described by Mojo as ‘the hottest chunk of screaming yahoo to kick rock’s
sorry arse into gear since Nirvana’, the White Stripes are the folksy
ex-husband and wife duo who stunned the music world with their
back-to-basics blues/punk rock. Rock biographer Dick Porter analyses the
quirkiness of their former claims to be brother and sister, Jack’s
austere puritanism and
obsessions with truth and death, and the child-like innocence of the
couple’s matching red-and-white colour schemes. The book also
considers Jack and Meg’s discomfort with their status as ‘the
unlikeliest saviours of rock ’n’ roll’.
