Open letter to Jack White
Dear Mr. White,
I have admired your music for quite some time now. Even your latest. Recently you reminisced about a time...
"...when we had great writers, and respected journalists who had earned their position as tastemakers, and won peoples respect with their knowledge and insight, [that] it was much easier to understand a written opinion because you at least knew where it was coming from. Now those printed opinions are probably coming from the person sitting next to you on his laptop at the mall .
With all due respect, this here blogger and his cohorts do not hang out at the mall. These printed opinions are coming from people working in corporate America and doing it for the love, not the hate. Just wanted to clear that up in case we run into each other at the mall when shopping for red & white ensembles while I'm getting my laptop repaired. I don't want to get Von Bondie'd.
I still really like your music. I constantly praise your talents as unmatched by most contemporaries, even if you're kind of a dick.
Regards,
The Merry Swankster
PS - I'm as perplexed as you on why VH1 has so many failed comedians providing the final word on the rubik's cube. Whats up with that?
