Daniel Robert Epstein: White Stripes for Coffee and Cigarettes

I really like the white stripes. I think that they're music is really good and they have good rock and roll ethic (if you will). I think the backlash is sort of juvenile and unfounded.
All of there roots and influences are cool.
I like the fact that they keep there private lives private.

And you really can't deny their stage presence.

\m/ Thanks D.

Backlash was certainly inevitable. I was never surprised when I heard it. They are a great band though. Jack White is a fantastic artist; he's both an inventive guitar player and songwriter.

Thanks for the interview. I'm really happy for their success.

celebrities are weird.

white stripes rock all oncomers.

I really, really, really hate you now Dan.

Jack White: musician and self procliamed tesla coil fan.
uhhh come again?

Meg White, the next Karen Carpenter.

Jim Jarmusch and Nick Cave belong to the Sons of what?

Sounds like a cult. A cult of really awesome people.

funny to hear meg talk about moving. she used to live right next door to me. I just noticed right before I read this article that her house was empty. kind of a bummer. we never really talked

Fuckin' cults.

the white stripes rule and meg white is the fucking cutest...no matter bad she is at drums

thanks so much for the interview AW

Damn skippy. There were only two or three decent scenes in the movie, and theirs was for sure not one of them.

I can admire the fact they made it so far with only 2 members, but he doesnt give enough credit to bass players. Not all basslines follow the guitar. And I never know Thomas Edison was such a prick.

i thought their bit was funny

Brilliant interview - the first WS interview I've read that's been written by someone who knows anything about the band.

Bravo.

Loved this interview!

Hehe that's great. I love the last question. "I paid $16,000 cash for a van" I'd so do that. And Meg was cute, adding her two cents everytime Jack took a breath. I love Meg. Mmmm Meg.
