THE WHITE STRIPES: 21st Century Blues - Dick Porter



THE WHITE STRIPES
21st Century Blues
By 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 claim 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’.
