Jack White (born John Anthony Gillis on July 9, 1975)[2] is an American musician, producer, and occasional actor. He is most well known as the frontman of the band The White Stripes, though he has been in several bands and collaborated with various artists. On April 24, 2012, White released his debut solo album, Blunderbuss, and his second studio album, Lazaretto, was released on June 10, 2014. Both were released to wide critical acclaim.
After playing the drums for years and moonlighting in several bands, White founded The White Stripes with fellow Detroit native, Meg White, in 1997. After a 2001 gig in London, they rose to fame in the UK—a fame that soon spread internationally. This recognition provided White opportunities to collaborate with famous artists, including Loretta Lynn and—his idol—Bob Dylan.[3] In 2006, White became a founding member of the rock band the Raconteurs, and in 2009 he helped form and played drums for his third commercially successful group, the Dead Weather.[4]
White has enjoyed both critical and popular success, and is widely credited as one of the key artists in the garage rock revival of the 2000s. He has won eight Grammy Awards, and both of his solo albums have reached number one on the Billboard charts. Rolling Stone ranked him number 70 on its 2010 list of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time". David Fricke's 2011 list ranked him at number 17. White has an extensive collection of guitars and other instruments, and has a preference for vintage items that often have connections to famous blues artists. He is a vocal advocate for analog technology and recording techniques, and he is a board member of the Library of Congress' National Recording Preservation Foundation. His studio (which houses his label, Third Man Records) presses vinyl recordings of his own work, as well as that of other artists and school children that come for tours.[5] His latest album holds the record for most first-week vinyl sales since 1991.
White values his privacy and has been known to create misdirection about his personal life; he has been called "eccentric." He has married and divorced twice—once from his White Stripe bandmate, Meg White, and later to the model (and mother of his children) Karen Elson. He has a daughter (Scarlett) and son (Henry). After negative experiences with fellow Detroit musicians, he left his hometown in 2006. He currently resides in Nashville, Tennessee.
John Anthony Gillis[6] was born in Detroit, Michigan, the youngest of ten children—and the seventh son—of Teresa (née Bandyk) and Gorman M. Gillis.[7] His mother's family was Polish,[8] while his father was of Scottish-Canadian descent.[9][10] He was raised a Catholic,[11] and his father and mother both worked for the Archdiocese of Detroit (as the Building Maintenance Superintendent and secretary in the Cardinal's office, respectively).[3] Gillis became an altar boy, which landed him an uncredited role in the 1987 movie The Rosary Murders, filmed mainly at Holy Redeemer parish in southwest Detroit.[3]
Gillis's early musical influences were inherited from his older brothers, and he learned to play the instruments they abandoned.[12][13] He began playing the drums at the age of six after finding a kit in the attic.[13][14] As a child, he was a fan of classical music,[15] but in elementary school, he began listening to the Doors, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin.[16] As a "shorthaired [teenager] with braces,"[15] Gillis began listening to the blues and 1960s rock that would influence him in The White Stripes,[3] with Son House and Blind Willie McTell being among his favorite blues musicians.[2][17] He has said in interviews that Son House's "Grinnin' In Your Face" is his favorite song of all time.[12][18]
In 2005 on 60 Minutes, he told Mike Wallace that his life could have turned out differently. "I'd got accepted to a seminary in Wisconsin, and I was gonna become a priest, but at the last second I thought, 'I'll just go to public school.' I had just gotten a new amplifier in my bedroom, and I didn't think I was allowed to take it with me."[19] Instead, he got accepted into the famed Cass Technical High School as a business major, and played the drums and trombone in the band.[12][20][21] At 15, Gillis began a three-year upholstery apprenticeship with a family friend, Brian Muldoon.[3] He credits Muldoon with exposing him to punk music as they worked together in the shop.[3][12] Muldoon goaded his young apprentice into forming a band: "He played drums," Gillis thought. "Well I guess I'll play guitar then."[3][22] The two recorded an album, Makers of High Grade Suites, as the Upholsterers.
As a senior in high school, he met Megan White at the Memphis Smoke restaurant where she worked,[23] and they frequented the coffee shops, local music venues, and record stores of the area.[24] After a courtship, they got married on September 21, 1996.[25][26] In a reversal of tradition, he took her last name.[3][27][28]
After completing his apprenticeship, he started a one-man business of his own, Third Man Upholstery.[29] The slogan of his business was "Your Furniture's Not Dead" and the color scheme was yellow and black—including a yellow van, a yellow-and-black uniform, and a yellow clipboard.[29] Although Third Man Upholstery never lacked business, he claims it was unprofitable due to his complacency about money and his business practices that were perceived as unprofessional, including making bills out in crayon and writing poetry inside the furniture.[29]
The newly christened Jack White was working as an upholsterer by day while moonlighting in local bands, as well as performing solo shows.[12] Previously, while 19 years old, he'd landed his first professional gig as the drummer for the Detroit band Goober & the Peas, and was still in that position when the band broke-up in 1996.[2][12][30] It was in this band that he learned about touring and performing onstage.[12] Though a bartender by trade,[31] Meg began to learn to play the drums in 1997 and, according to Jack, "When she started to play drums with me, just on a lark, it felt liberating and refreshing."[3] The couple became a band, calling themselves The White Stripes,[32] and two months later performed their first show.[12]
Despite being married, Jack and Meg publicly presented themselves as siblings,[33][34] and keeping to a chromatic theme, dressed only in red, white, and black.[35][36] They begin their career as part of the Michigan's underground garage rock music scene.[31][35] They played along with and opened for more established local bands such as Bantam Rooster, the Dirtbombs, Two Star Tabernacle, Rocket 455, and the Hentchmen, among others.[12][31] In 1998, the White Stripes were signed to Italy Records—a small and independent Detroit-based garage punk label—by Dave Buick.[37] The band released its self-titled debut album in 1999, and a year later the album was followed up by the cult classic,[38] De Stijl. The album eventually peaked at number 38 in Billboard's Independent Albums chart.
In 2001 the band released White Blood Cells. The album's stripped-down garage rock sound drew critical acclaim in the US and beyond,[2] making The White Stripes one of the more acclaimed bands of 2002,[31] and forefront figures in the garage band revival of the time.[2][32][39] John Peel, an influential DJ and the band's early advocate in the UK, said they were the most exciting thing he'd heard since Jimi Hendrix.[40] The New York Times said of White, "beneath the arty facade lies one of the most cagey, darkly original rockers to come along since Kurt Cobain."[41] The album was followed up in 2003 by the commercially and critically successful Elephant.[42][43][44][45] Allmusic wrote that the album "sounds even more pissed-off, paranoid and stunning than its predecessor ... darker and more difficult than White Blood Cells. "[46] The album's first single, "Seven Nation Army", became the band's signature song,[47] reaching number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart for three weeks, winning the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Rock Song, and becoming an international sporting and protest anthem.[48][49] The band's fifth album, Get Behind Me Satan, was recorded in White's own home and marked a change in the band's musical direction, with piano-driven melodies and experimentation with marimba and a more rhythm-based guitar playing by White.[2][3]
The band's sixth album, Icky Thump, was released in 2007 and, unlike their previous lo-fi albums, it was recorded in Nashville at Blackbird Studio.[35] It entered the UK Albums Chart at number one and debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart.[50] The album's sound included more punk, garage and blues influences than its predecessor.[according to whom?] In support of the album, they launched a Canadian tour, in which they played a gig in every one of the country's provinces and territories. However, later that year, the band announced the cancellation of 18 tour dates due to Meg's struggle with acute anxiety.[51] A few days later, the duo cancelled the remainder of their 2007 UK tour dates as well.[52]
White worked with other artists in the meantime, but revealed the band's plan to release a seventh album by the summer of 2009.[53][54] On February 20, 2009—and on the final episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien—the band made their first live appearance after the cancellation of the tour,[55] and a documentary about their Canadian tour—titled The White Stripes: Under Great White Northern Lights—debuted later that year at the Toronto International Film Festival.[56] However, almost two years passed with no new releases, and on February 2, 2011, the band reported on their official website that they were disbanding. White emphasized that it was not due to health issues or artistic differences, "but mostly to preserve what is beautiful and special about the band."[57]
In 2005, while collaborating with Brendan Benson, a fellow musician whom White had worked with while producing Van Lear Rose,[2] they composed a song called "Steady, as She Goes." This inspired them to create a full band, and they invited Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler of the Greenhornes to join them in what would become The Raconteurs. The musicians met in Benson's home studio in Detroit and, for the remainder of the year, they recorded when time allowed. The result was the band's debut album, Broken Boy Soldiers, and the lead single, "Steady, As She Goes" was nominated for a Grammy.[58] The Raconteurs set out on tour to support the album,[2] including eight dates as the opening act for Bob Dylan. The group's second album, Consolers of the Lonely, and its first single, "Salute Your Solution", were released simultaneously in 2008. The album received a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album.
While on tour to promote Consolers of the Lonely, White developed bronchitis and often lost his voice.[2] Allison Mosshart, the frontwoman for the The Kills (who was touring with the Raconteurs the time) would often fill in as his vocal replacement.[2] The chemistry among the two artists led them to collaborate, and in early 2009, White formed a new group called the Dead Weather.[2] White took drum and vocal duties, while the Raconteurs bassist Jack Lawrence and Queens of the Stone Age keyboardist and guitarist Dean Fertita rounded the four piece out.
The group debuted a handful of new tracks on March 11, 2009 in Nashville from their debut album Horehound. It came out on July 13, 2009 in Europe and July 14, 2009 in North America on White's Third Man Records label. In October 2009, Mosshart confirmed that the second album was "halfway done,"[59] and the first single, "Die by the Drop," was released on March 30, 2010. The new album (again on the Third Man Records label) was titled Sea of Cowards and was released on May 7 of that year in Ireland, on May 11 in the U.S., and on May 10 in the United Kingdom.
White's popular and critical success with The White Stripes enabled him to collaborate as a solo artist with other musicians. He has joined other artists on their recordings, as well as invited artists to perform on his projects. He has also worked as a producer for various artists, often through his label, Third Man Records.
Rumors began to circulate in 2003 that White had collaborated with Electric Six for their song "Danger! High Voltage."[60] He and the Electric Six both denied this,[60][61] and the vocal work was credited officially to John S O'Leary.[62] In subsequent interviews with Chris Handyside, however, Dick Valentine and Corey Martin (Electric Six band members) acknowledged White's involvement and confirmed that he received no payment.[63]
White worked with Loretta Lynn on her 2004 album Van Lear Rose,which he produced and performed on.[64] The album was a critical and commercial success.[2] In 2008, White collaborated with Alicia Keys on the song "Another Way to Die", the theme song for the James Bond film Quantum of Solace. In 2009, Jack White was featured in It Might Get Loud, a film in which he, Jimmy Page, and The Edge come together to discuss the electric guitar and each artist's different playing methods.[65] White's first solo single, "Fly Farm Blues," was written and recorded in 10 minutes during the filming of the movie that August.[66] The single went on sale as a 7-inch vinyl record from Third Man Records and as a digital single available through iTunes on August 11. In November 2010, producer Danger Mouse announced that White—along with Norah Jones—had been recruited for his collaboration with Daniele Luppi entitled Rome.[67] White provided vocals to three songs on the album: "The Rose with the Broken Neck," "Two Against One," and "The World."[68] White finished and performed the song "You Know That I Know", and it was featured on The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams, released on October 4, 2011. In that same year, he produced and played on Wanda Jackson's album Let's Have a Party.[64][69] To her delight, his studio also released the album on a 7-inch vinyl.[69]
White has worked with other artists as well, including Beck, the Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck,[70] and Bob Dylan.
On January 30, 2012 White released "Love Interruption" as the first single off his debut, self-produced solo album, Blunderbuss, which was released on April 24, 2012.[71] In support of the album, he appeared on Saturday Night Live as the musical guest and played at at select festivals during the summer of 2012, including the Firefly Music Festival, Radio 1's Hackney Weekend, the Sasquatch! Music Festival, the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan (one of the biggest festivals in the world), and Rock Werchter in Belgium. Later in the year, he headlined Austin City Limits Music Festival. During his tour for the album, White employed two live bands, which he alternated between at random. The first, called The Peacocks, was all female and consisted of Ruby Amanfu, Carla Azar, Lillie Mae Rische, Maggie Bjorklund, Brooke Waggoner, and alternating bassists Bryn Davies and Catherine Popper.[72] The other, The Buzzards, was all male and consisted of Daru Jones, Dominic Davis, Fats Kaplin, Ikey Owens, and Cory Younts.[73] White said maintaining two bands was too expensive,[49] and abandoned the practice at the conclusion of the tour. Blunderbluss was ultimately nominated for several Grammys, including Album of the Year, Best Rock Album, and Best Rock Song for "Freedom at 21."[2]
On April 1, 2014, White announced his second solo album, Lazaretto; it was released on June 10, 2014 simultaneously with the first single off the album, "High Ball Stepper." The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and,[74] in a personal triumph for White,[74] broke the record for the largest sales week for a vinyl album since SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991.[74] The album was widely praised among critics, and was nominated for three Grammy Awards: Best Alternative Music Album, as well as Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance (for the song "Lazaretto"). During the supporting tour, he performed the longest show of his career on July 30, 2014 at the Detroit Masonic Temple.[75]
White has also had a minor acting career. He appeared in the 2003 film Cold Mountain as a character named Georgia and performed five songs for the Cold Mountain soundtrack: "Sittin' on Top of the World", "Wayfaring Stranger", "Never Far Away", "Christmas Time Soon Will Be Over" and "Great High Mountain." The 2003 Jim Jarmusch film Coffee and Cigarettes featured both Jack and Meg in the segment "Jack Shows Meg His Tesla Coil." He also played Elvis Presley in the 2007 satire Walk Hard.
White founded Third Man Records in 2001.[76] However, it was not until he moved to Nashville that White purchased a space to house his label in 2009.[5] He explained, "For the longest time I did not want to have my own studio gear, mostly because with the White Stripes I wanted to have the constriction of going into a studio and having a set time of 10 days or two weeks to finish an album, and using whatever gear they happen to have there. After 10 to 15 years of recording like that I felt that it was finally time for me to have my own place to produce music, and have exactly what I want in there: the exact tape machines, the exact microphones, the exact amplifiers that I like, and so on."[77] Using the slogan "Your Turntable's Not Dead,"[13] Third Man also presses vinyl records,[78] for the artists on its label, for White's own musical ventures, as well as for third parties for hire. The label released and pressed a 7-inch vinyl of Conan O'Brien's 2010 comedy album "And They Call Me Mad?", which featured an interview of O'Brien by Jack White on its reverse.[79] The White Stripes sold over 300,000 vinyl copies of Icky Thump in England.[78] Of his excitement for vinyl, White explained, "We can't afford to lose the feeling of cracking open a new record and looking at large artwork and having something you can hold in your hands."[78]
White owns many instruments and, historically, has tended to use certain ones for specific projects or in certain settings. He has a preference for vintage guitars, many of which are associated with influential blues artists. Much of his equipment is custom-made, for both technical and aesthetic reasons.
During his career with The White Stripes, White principally used three guitars,[80] though he used others as well. The red, "JB Hutto," Airline guitar was a vintage 1964 model originally distributed by Montgomery Ward department store.[80][81] Though used by several artists, White's attachment to the instrument raised its popularity to the extent that Eastwood Guitars began producing a modified replica around 2000.[80] The 1950s-era Kay Hollowbody was a gift from his brother in return for a favor.[40] It was the same brand of electric guitar made popular by Howling Wolf,[80] and White most famously used it on "Seven Nation Army."[81] He begin using a 1915 Gibson L-1 acoustic (often called the Robert Johnson model) on the Icky Thump album;[80][81] in an interview for Gibson, he called the instrument his favorite.[80] He also used a three-pickup Airline Town & Country (later featured in the "Steady As She Goes" music video),[82] a Harmony Rocket,[82] a 1970s-era Crestwood Astral II,[81][82] and what would become the first of three custom Gretsch Rancher Falcon acoustic guitars.[80] While with the Stripes, any equipment that did not match their red/black/white color scheme were painted red.
While the Raconteurs were still in development, White commissioned luthier Randy Parsons to create what White called the Triple Jet—a custom guitar styled after the Duo Jet double-cutaway guitar.[83] Parsons's first product was painted copper color, however he decided to create a second version with a completely copper body, which White began to use instead.[83] For the Raconteurs first tour, White also played a Gretsch Anniversary Jr. with a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece and three Filtertron pickups.[82][83] He later added a custom Gretsch Anniversary Jr. with two cutaways, a lever-activated mute system, a built-in and retractable bullet microphone, and a light-activated theremin next to the Bigsby.[80] White has dubbed this one the "Green Machine",[80][81] and it is featured in It Might Get Loud.[80] He sometimes played a Gibson J-160E,[82] a Gretsch Duo Jet in Cadillac Green,[82] and a second Gretsch Rancher acoustic guitar.[80] For the Raconteurs' 2008 tour, he had Analog Man plate all of his pedals in copper.[84]
He has since acquired another Gretsch, a custom white Billy Gibbons/Bo Diddley signature Gretsch Jupiter Thunderbird with a gold double pickguard (as seen in the music video for "Another Way to Die").[80][81] White found a 1957 Gretsch G6134 White Penguin in 2007 while on tour in Texas[80]—the same one he used in the music video for "Icky Thump"[81]—which ultimately fit in with the Dead Weather's color scheme. He also uses a black left-handed one since the Dead Weather album Sea of Cowards came out.[citation needed] He has also been known to play Fender Telecasters,[80][81] featuring one in the music video for Loretta Lynn's "Portland, Oregon."
White owns three Grestch Rancher Falcons because he says that its bass tones make it his favorite acoustic to play live.[80] They are collectively referred to as his "girlfriends," as each one has an image of a classic movie star on the back. Claudette Colbert is the brunette he used while with the Stripes, Rita Hayworth is the redhead he acquired with the Raconteurs, and Veronica Lake is the blonde he added in 2010 while with the Dead Weather.[80]

White uses numerous effects to create his live sound, most notably a DigiTech Whammy WH-4 to create the rapid modulations in pitch he uses in his solos.[85] White also produces a "fake" bass tone by playing the Kay Hollowbody and JB Hutto Montgomery Airline guitars through a Whammy IV set to one octave down for a very thick, low, rumbling sound, which he uses most notably on the songs "Seven Nation Army" and "The Hardest Button to Button" during live performances.[85][citation needed] He also uses an MXR Micro Amp and custom Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Distortion/Sustainer.[82] In 2005, for the single "Blue Orchid," White employed a Electro-Harmonix Polyphonic Octave Generator (POG),[citation needed] which lets the user mix in several octave effects into one along with the dry signal. He plugs this setup into a and 1970s Fender Twin Reverb "Silverface" and two 100-Watt Sears Silvertone 1485 6×10 amplifiers.[81][citation needed] He also used a 1960s 1960s Fender Twin Reverb "Blackface".[81]
On occasion, White also plays other instruments, such as a Black Gibson F-4 mandolin ("Little Ghost"), piano (on most tracks from Get Behind Me Satan, and various others), and an electric piano on such tracks as "The Air Near My Fingers" and "I'm Finding it Harder to be a Gentleman". White also plays percussion instruments such as the marimba (as on "The Nurse"),[3] drums and tambourine. For The White Stripes' 2007 tour, he played a custom-finish Hammond A-100 organ with a Leslie 3300 speaker, which was subsequently loaned to Bob Dylan, and currently resides at Third Man Studios.[86] On the album Broken Boy Soldiers, he is credited as playing the album's synths and organ; however, bandmate Brendan Benson also received credit for these instruments and it is unclear who played on which song.
With the Dead Weather, White plays a custom Ludwig Classic Maple kit in Black Oyster Pearl. The sizes consist of the following: 16×26 kick, 5×16 snare (primary) 12×14 marching snare (secondary), 7×16 rack tom 14×16 floor tom, two 16×16 floor toms, Paiste 2002 24" crash, 24" ride and two 16" crashes as hi-hats. For the 2009 Full Flash Blank tour, White used a drum head with the Three Brides of Dracula on the front, but in 2010, White employed a new drum head, upon the release of Sea of Cowards, which has an image of The Third Man himself: Harry Lime attempting to escape certain capture in the sewers of Vienna. During the American leg of the 2010 tour, White switched his drum head again featuring a picture of himself in the guise he wore on the cover of Sea of Cowards. This drum head is called Sam Kay by some fans, referring to the insert inside of the 12" LP.
"I love analogue because of what it makes you do. Digital recording gives you all this freedom, all these options to change the sounds that you are putting down, and those are for the most part not good choices to have for an artist," and "Mechanics are always going to provide inherent little flaws and tiny little specks and hisses that will add to the idea of something beautiful, something romantic. Perfection, making things perfectly in time and perfectly free of extraneous noise, is not something to aspire to! Why would anyone to aspire to such a thing?"[77]
White has long been a proponent of analog equipment and the associated working methods.[35][64] Beginning in the fifth grade, he and his childhood friend, Dominic Suchyta, would listen to records in White's attic on weekends and began to record cover songs on an old four-track reel to reel tape machine.[12] The White Stripes' first album was largely recorded in the attic of his parents' home.[12]
As their fame grew beyond Detroit, the Stripes became known for their affected innocence and stripped-down playing style.[2] In particular, White became distinguished for his nasal vocal delivery and loose, explosive guitar delivery.[2] In an early New York Times concert review from 2001, Ann Powers said that, while White's playing was "ingenious," he "created more challenges by playing an acoustic guitar with paper taped over the hole and a less-than-high-quality solid body electric."[34]
His home studio in Nashville contains two rooms ("I want everyone close, focused, feeling like we're in it together.")[5] with two pieces of equipment: a Neve mixing console,[5] and two Studer A800 2-inch 8-track tape recorders.[citation needed]
In his introduction in the documentary film, It Might Get Loud, White showcases his minimalist style by constructing a guitar built out of a plank of wood, three nails, a glass Coke bottle, a guitar string, and a pickup. He ends the demonstration by saying, "Who says you need to buy a guitar?"[22] In a 2012 episode of the show Portlandia, White made a cameo in a sketch spoofing home studio enthusiasts who prefer antique recording equipment.[87]
White has enjoyed both critical and popular success, and is widely credited as one of the key artists in the garage rock revival of the 2000s.[2] Rolling Stone ranked him number 70 on its 2010 list of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".[88] David Fricke's 2011 list ranked him at number 17.[89] He has won eight Grammy Awards and both of his solo albums have reached number one on the Billboard charts. Interviewers note the wide breadth of the music styles and eras he draws from for inspiration.[90]
Much has been made of White's "showmanship" and affectations.[85] Since the beginning, critics have debated the "riddle" of White's self-awareness against his claims of authenticity,[34][41] with people falling on both sides of the issue. Joe Hagan of The New York Times asked in 2001, "Is Mr. White, a 25-year-old former upholsterer from southwest Detroit, concocting this stuff with a wink? Or are the White Stripes simply naïve?"[41] Alexis Petridis, of The Guardian, said that White "makes for an enigmatic figure. Not because he's particularly difficult or guarded, but simply because what he tells you suggests a lifelong penchant for inscrutable behaviour."[49] White himself confesses, "Sometimes I think I'm a simple guy, but I think the reality is I'm really complicated, as simple as I wish I was".[49]
White is protective of his privacy and gives few details of his family life, even going as far as to disseminate false information.[27] He states that he does not consider his personal life relevant to his art, saying "It's the same thing as asking Michelangelo, 'What kind of shoes do you wear?'...In the end, it doesn't really matter ... the only thing that's going to be left is our records and photos."[40]
Jack and Meg officially divorced on March 24, 2000—before their band reached mainstream stardom.[91]
In 2003, Jack had a brief but highly publicized romantic relationship with actress Renée Zellweger, whom he met during the filming of Cold Mountain. That summer, the couple were in a car accident in which White broke his left index finger and was forced to reschedule much of the summer tour.[92] He posted the footage of his finger surgery on the web for fans.[93] White and Zellweger's breakup became public in December 2004.[94]
White met British model Karen Elson when she appeared in The White Stripes music video for "Blue Orchid". The video's director, Floria Sigismondi, noted "you sensed an energy between them".[95][96] They married on June 1, 2005, in Manaus, Brazil.[96] The wedding took place in a canoe on the Amazon River and was officiated by a shaman. A Roman Catholic priest later convalidated their marriage.[97] Manager Ian Montone was the best man and Meg White was the maid of honor.[97] Official wedding announcements stated that "it was the first marriage" for both.[97] On May 2, 2006, the couple had a daughter, Scarlett Teresa White.[98] Their second child, Henry Lee White, was born on August 7, 2007.[99] The White family resided in Brentwood, Tennessee, a suburb south of Nashville,[100] where Elson managed a vintage clothing store called Venus & Mars.[101][102] Elson provided vocals on White's first solo record.[102] However, the couple announced their intention to divorce in June 2011,[103] throwing a "a positive swing bang humdinger" party to commemorate the split.[5][27] On July 22, 2013, a Nashville judge barred White from having "any contact with Karen Elson whatsoever except as it relates to parenting time with the parties' minor children."[104] A counter-motion by White's attorney Cathy Speers Johnson was filed on August 2, 2013, stating that "The reason for filing this response is that Mr. White does not want to be portrayed as something he is not, violent toward his wife and children."[105] Their divorce was made final on November 26, 2013.[106] Elson later recanted the charges, attributing the "aggressive" proceedings to her divorce attorneys, and saying "those who gain of a marriage ending helped to create a downward spiral at my most vulnerable."[5] White agreed, saying, "When shitty lawyers are in a situation like divorce, their goal is to villainize."[5] The former couple have since remained on good terms.[27]
White has been called "eccentric."[107][108][109][110] He is known for creating mythology around his endeavors;[9] examples include his claim that the Stripes began on Bastille Day,[31] that he and Meg are the two youngest of ten siblings,[31][33][111] and that Third Man Records used to be a candy factory.[13] These assertions came into question or were disproven, such as when, in 2002, the Detroit Free Press produced copies of both a marriage license and divorce certificate for he and Meg, confirming their history as a married couple.[91] Neither addresses the truth officially, and Jack continues to refer to Meg as his sister in interviews,[13] including in the documentary Under Great White Northern Lights, filmed in 2007.[112]
It became hypnotic. This was the minimum amount of staples I could put to hold this fabric down. The number three exemplifies the almost iconic, mysterious perfection that cannot be obtained...To this day, I still think about it all the time.[49]
He has an attachment to the number three,[35][113] stemming from seeing three staples in the back of a Vladimir Kagan couch he helped to upholster as an apprentice.[49] His business ventures frequently feature three in the title and he typically appends "III" to the end of his name.[27] During his 2007 tour in the UK, White began referring to himself as "Three Quid"—"quid" being British slang for pound sterling.[114]
He maintains an aesthetic that he says challenges whether people will believe he is "real."[3][27] He frequently color-codes his endeavors, such as the aforementioned Third Man Upholstery and The White Stripes, as well as Third Man Records, which is completely outfitted in yellow, black, red, and blue (including staff uniforms).[5] As a taxidermy enthusiast—that correlates to his work as an upholsterer—he outfits his studio in preserved animals, including a peacock, giraffe, and Himalayan goat.[27] His entourage are expected to dress in a way that corresponds to his current project, while still being able to express themselves individually.[citation needed]
On December 13, 2003, White was involved in an altercation with Jason Stollsteimer, lead singer of the Von Bondies, at the Magic Stick, a Detroit club.[115][116] White was charged with misdemeanor aggravated assault.[117] He pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of assault and battery, was fined $750 (including court costs), and was sentenced to take anger management classes.[5][116]
"I so love your heart that burns
That in your people's body yearns
To perpetuate, and permeate, the lonely dream that does encapsulate,
Your spirit, that God insulates,
With courageous dream's concern"[16]
White has repeatedly referenced conflicts that erupted between him and fellow artists in Detroit's underground music scene after The White Stripes gained international success.[3][35] In a 2006 interview with the Associate Press, he said that he eventually left Detroit because, "he could not take the negativity anymore."[118] However, in an effort to clarify his feelings towards the city of Detroit itself, he wrote and released a poem called "Courageous Dream's Concern."[118] In it, he expresses his affection for his hometown.[16][118]
During their 2013 divorce proceedings, Elson entered into evidence an e-mail that White had sent her that happened to include disparaging remarks about The Black Keys.[27][119] When asked about the incident in a 2014 Rolling Stone magazine interview, White stood by the remarks saying, "I'll hear TV commercials where the music's ripping off sounds of mine, to the point I think it's me. Half the time, it's the Black Keys."[5] He later apologized for the comments.[120]
In 2009, White donated almost $170,000 towards the renovation of the baseball diamond in southwest Detroit's Clark Park.[121]
The Detroit Masonic Temple was nearly foreclosed on in 2013 after it was revealed that owners owed $142,000 in back taxes.[122] In June 2013, it was revealed that White had footed the entire bill. To thank him for the donation, the temple has decided to rename its second largest theater the Jack White Theater.[122][123]
The National Recording Preservation Foundation received an inaugural gift of $200,000 from White to use towards restoring and preserving deteriorating sound recordings on media such as reel-to-reel tape and old cylinders.[124] The foundation's director, Eric J. Schwartz said the donation demonstrated a "commitment by a really busy songwriter and performer donating both his time on the board, and money to preserve our national song recording heritage."[124] White also serves on the foundation's board.[125]
For his various collaborations and solo work, White has won regional, national and international awards, including eight Grammy Awards. He has been nominated for many more. Nashville mayor Karl Dean awarded White the title of "Nashville Music City Ambassador" in 2011.[126] Listed below are notable awards he's won as a solo performing artist:
Award | Year | Recipient | Nomination | Result |
Satellite Awards | 2008 | "Another Way To Die" (Jack White and Alicia Keys) | Best Original Song | Won |
O Music Awards | 2013 | Jack White | Analog Genius Award | Won |

My birthday is July 2nd, and what better gift could I give to myself that to reach this goal that's nearing two years in the making? So from now until then, I'll be giving Sunday updates/weekend wrap-ups on my progress called Birthday Gift Goal Updates. What a week! I had the week off for spring break, and had plans to rock big workouts each day, the same way I did when I had the February break . Unfortunately, I never got myself in gear, and I felt very listless and blah the entire week. But I also make some huge strides towards better health in the latter part of the week. So all in all, it was a good week, even if things didn't go according to plans. Still, I have to believe that everything that is meant to be is what happened. So I faced the scale this morning, and was up from last week. As you can see from this button, I have 41 lbs to go to make my Birthday Gift Goal. That means I have 79 days, or 12 weeks, to go. I can make it. At my weight, I can easily lose the 3-4 lbs per week that I need to. Because those recommendations that say that safe weight loss is 2 lbs or less per week aren't talking about people that are 300 lbs. So, relatively speaking, it's very realistic. Now this is probably going to be a bit controversial, but after trying this for a year and 8 months, I can use all of the help I can get. So, I contacted my doctor to see if she would give me a prescription for a diet pill that could help with my weight loss. There are several that would help with short-term weight loss, so we'll see what she says. If she approves it, I'm going to try it and see if it helps. A fun step I took this week was starting a Facebook page related to this blog . I've already had several of you visit me there and "Like" me, but if you haven't yet, I'd really appreciate it. I've been on FB for years with my personal account, but making a page tied to this blog is a great way to connect with more of you. You guys know how happy I am to be a #SweatPink Ambassador, and I'm excited to let you know that my bio is now on Fit Approach . Even if you've been reading this blog for years, I think you'll find out some new info about me, so if you have a minute, please head over and read it. And while you're at it, read about my fellow #SweatPink Ambassadors, as well. They are a group of really interesting, accomplished women. By the way, I have a few pairs of pink shoelaces left, so if you'd like a pair of your very own, read this post , email me, and I'll mail them out to you. A major thing that happened this week was that I had a therapy appointment . I really liked my new therapist, and I think she and I are going to click well together. The first appointment was emotional, to say the least, and I left the office feeling worn out, as if I'd done a major workout. And in a way, I had. It felt good to talk about everything, and the therapist asked me some really insightful, thought-provoking questions. I really look forward to getting to the key issues surrounding the reasons why I'm blocking myself from achieving my goals. When I went to my parents' house to let them know that I'd entered therapy, and a bit more about my disordered eating, my dad had some excellent suggestions. He pointed out that when I quit smoking, I had to change my routine in order to get my mind off of cigarettes, and he suggested that the same thing would work with eating. He's absolutely right! I told him that I can be great during the day, but when I get home, I get ravenous, and most of the time it's really just the habit of wanting to scarf rather than from actual hunger. So we brainstormed a plan for the rest of the school year that I think is going to work well: I'm really excited to start this new routine tomorrow. I'll absolutely have an update next week. And lastly, since food is a huge part of my success with this Birthday Gift Goal, I planned my menu for the week and spent about an hour getting everything ready.
And now for some photos to show my food prep… As you can see, I had a very productive day. Now if only I had spent a bit more time this week (or even today) grading all those essays. (Sigh!) |

This is the second reissue from the Mali Kunkan label on Kindred Spirits. One of the rarest (that we know about) Malian records 'Le Mystère Jazz de Tombouctou' gets its first ever re-issue, with re-mastered audio and restored artwork. For fans of Kanaga de Mopti and the Super Djata Band. KS are proud to present to you this true West African gem! TIP!
In 1977 the Malian government funded a series of LPs through it's Mali Kunkan label. This series highlighted some of the great Malian orchestras of the period. As heard on the 'Kanaga De Mopti' LP (previously re-issued on Kindred Spirits), this was a time the electric guitar was being fully embraced by the players in this West African region. The guitar is especially prominent on this record, often taking place as the central instrument next to the vocals. The album features 6 beautiful songs, some reaching 10 minutes in length - all bridging the modern sounds being explored at the time with traditional rhythms and tunings. This is yet another example of the depth and beauty to be heard in the rich music from this incredible country - past and present.

Greenberg gets his second chance
The roaring crowd rose as one when Adam Greenberg walked to the plate for the first time in seven years, and Marlins teammates leaning over the dugout railing joined the applause.
After more than seven years, Adam Greenberg finally got his second major league at-bat. Watch it.Three strikes later, they were cheering still. Greenberg's second chance in the major leagues went a lot better than the first one, even though he struck out.
''It was magical,'' he said. ''The energy in the stadium was something I never experienced, and I don't know if I will ever experience it again. You could just feel the genuine support. It was awesome.''
Beaned by the first pitch he saw in the majors in 2005, Greenberg made a comeback Tuesday night and fanned on three pitches as a pinch-hitter for Miami. The Marlins won 4-3 in 11 innings.
Greenberg signed a one-day contract before the game and led off the sixth inning against New York Mets 20-game winner R.A. Dickey, who threw him three consecutive knuckleballs. Greenberg took the first for a strike, then swung at the next two and missed.
The game was Greenberg's first since his major league debut with the Chicago Cubs in 2005, when he was hit in the back of the head by the first pitch he saw - a 92 mph fastball that derailed his career.
Back in the big leagues at age 31, Greenberg took part in batting practice and then watched the early innings from the bench. After Rob Brantly homered, he received a celebratory chest bump from a grinning Greenberg in the dugout.
By the fifth inning, Greenberg had a bat in his hands as he paced in the dugout. In the sixth, manager Ozzie Guillen sent him up to bat for outfielder Bryan Petersen.
Guillen, a former player, watched as Greenberg walked to the plate and the ballpark shook with a roar.
''You know what went through my mind?'' Guillen said. ''I said how lucky I was to get 10,000 at-bats in the big leagues.''
Greenberg swung under an 80 mph knuckler for strike three, and the crowd groaned, then renewed its cheers as Greenberg returned to the bench. He smiled as he received a hug and back slaps from Jose Reyes, high fives from other teammates and a whisper in the ear from Guillen.
''A lot of mixed emotions there, getting high-fived after a strikeout by the entire team,'' Greenberg said. ''It was different.''
When Greenberg slipped his bat into the rack, he was still grinning. The at-bat had lasted 33 seconds.
''It's going to last an eternity for me,'' he said.
Guillen replaced him in the lineup before the next inning.
Greenberg said he was overwhelmed by the positive reception from his new teammates, who gave him a pregame rookie hazing in the clubhouse. He donned a USA Speedo and drew playful boos when he sang ''Take Me Out To The Ball Game.''
''I was completely humiliated, but they were awesome,'' Greenberg said. ''They treated me like a member of their team.''
The 5-foot-9 Greenberg said he hoped the game marks only the beginning of a career comeback. He didn't play in the minor leagues this year and hasn't been with a major league organization since 2008, but he still harbors hopes of a big league job.
Greenberg recently played for Israel in the qualifying round of the World Baseball Classic.
''Hopefully there is going to be a lot more of this. This is good stuff,'' Greenberg said at a pregame news conference. ''I want to show everyone I can play, although you can never really truly do that in one at-bat, especially if it ends up being against Dickey.''
Several Marlins played with Greenberg in the minors as he struggled to recover from his beaning.
''He was a good player, and for it to be ruined on one pitch is a tough blow, if you will,'' catcher John Buck said. ''But he has fought back. This is one of those good stories for young kids and what baseball is about - enduring to the end, and making the most of your opportunity.''
The Greenberg signing was a rare feel-good story for the last-place Marlins, who have endured the most disappointing season in the franchise's 20-year history.
''I think I've never seen this ballclub more excited than today,'' Guillen said. ''We've been losing so many games we hate each other.''
The Marlins gave Greenberg jersey No. 10, a more prestigious number than the No. 66 he recalled wearing in Cubs spring training.
An outfielder, he made his big league debut with the Cubs in Miami on July 9, 2005, and was hit by a pitch thrown by Marlins left-hander Valerio De Los Santos. He sustained a concussion that caused vision problems, vertigo and headaches lasting hours at a time, and it was nearly two years before he regained full health.
''I was concerned more with the quality of my life than playing ball,'' he said. ''It was a tough time.''
He married, started a health-supplement business and played in the independent Atlantic League. A recent online campaign known as ''One At Bat'' lobbied for Greenberg to get a second chance in the majors, and the Marlins last week offered him an opportunity to play in the next-to-last game of their season.
For seven years, Greenberg was one of only two players to be hit by a pitch in his lone big league appearance and never take the field. The other was Fred van Dusen with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1955.
Van Dusen flew down from his home in Franklin, Tenn., to attend Tuesday's game. He threw out the first pitch and joined the rest of the crowd applauding Greenberg's comeback.
''Life throws you curveballs,'' Greenberg said. ''Mine threw me a fastball at 92, and it hit me in the back of the head. I got up from it, and my life is great.''

Hello everyone, well, I don't see why I shouldn't have to do what all new members do....introduce myself!
I am Cowboy Bebop, but you can refer to me as CB since it is much easier to type (and its close to DB too :D). I have been fortunate enough to become part of the long history of AnimeOnline.net and hope that my time here can be as good as DB's was. DB has done an amazing job bringing back the site from the edge of the cliff, which is were the former ownership before him had left it. In order to avoid disrupting the site, I plan to stay in the background reading your posts and working with the site's wonderful Mods to try and keep this ship sailing along.
Now that I have made my little "hello" post, someone please point me to the rules so that I can be sure to follow them!
P.S.- I do not yet have a signature (which will change soon) and am putting some thought into it before I decide which one to use. A few of the Mods even suggested having a contest, so maybe that will be the way to do it in the near future. We shall see, first, time for me to read your poetry, posts and skim though the gallery. I've got a lot of studying to do :).

Lars and the Real Girl
Sometimes you find love where you'd least expect it. Just ask Lars (Academy Award Nominee, Ryan Gosling), a sweet but quirky guy who thinks he's found the girl of his dreams in a life-sized doll named Bianca. Lars is completely content with his artificial girlfriend, but when he develops feelings for Margo, an attractive co-worker, Lars finds himself lost in a hilariously unique love triangle, hoping to somehow discover the real meaning of true love. You'll be swept off your feet by Lars And The Real Girl, hailed as "One of the Year's 10 Best" by The Associated Press.
The search for true love begins outside the box.

Clueless and Rude!
Posted by
BURLINGTON, IOWA -- I believe in supporting the Mom and Pop shops. Which is why I went to this store to purchase items which are not competitive in their prices compared to large department stores. Also, I know to whom and where my money goes, and I feel I am doing good for people with good values and work ethics.
Or so I thought.....
I went to purchase a Christmas gift card and was greeted by a pushy, younger sales girl that followed me around the small store. This is pretty common now-a-days, but the manner of the old, heavier woman, (who I now know is an owner!) was unforgettable!!
After she logged the certificate inventory number, she wanted to complete the "to" and "from" portion on the gift card itself. I expained to her that it wasn't necessary to do so, as she has the number of the gift card already that corresponds to her recorded inventory list. (See, I wanted to fill that portion out...gift cards are so impersonnal...and if I could have filled it out in my own handwriting..well, common sense...)
Well, she huffed and puffed and said...well..."As long as your check clears!" I was sickened and appauledl. It took all my strength to not tell her why I was really there. Which is that I felt sorry for them. There customer lot is always empty. I just wanted to help. Well folks, this explains it. She's an ungrateful, old, haggared women. I can't help her with that.
Thank you anyway, Dande Workwear. I will go to Carhart online!

James helped us find our first home in Bothell, WA and we are thrilled. We've lived here a year now and it's perfect for our needs. James was professional, pleasant to work with, and honest. I appreciate his honesty and perspective in an industry where you don't always get that.
We will definitely work with James again.

Ratings & Reviews
James was great throughout the entire home purchasing process. My wife and I were new to Puget Sound and quickly came to rely on James' local knowledge and expertise. I also need to mention his patience. We must have looked at 3 dozen houses and never heard him complain and was already ready to look at new homes. I've recommended him to friends a few times already.
James is a great agent and professionally handled the sale of my home. He has sold 3 homes for me. I highly recommend him and have referred him to my friends and family.
James has been instrumental in helping me build my real estate investment portfolio. He has a way of sharing his experience and views in a way that is not aggressive and allows you to get clear on what your objectives are. He uses his breadth of experience to help you navigate the home buying process and feel confident you are getting the best possible deal. He has gone above and beyond for me in several situations and I am very grateful to have him as my go-to agent.
James has been very expedient and helpful in getting the information I needed. He is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure every property and detail is throughly examined. I'd definitely recommend him for buying and selling any type of real estate.
We have worked with James Minkley for many, many years. We have seen James out-perform other Agents in so many different areas, it is incredible. James ensures that he maintains the best skills available in each of these areas: market comprehension, negotiations (on your behalf), deal structure, creativeness, customer service, hard work ethic, crisis intervention, Real Estate laws and regulations, compliance, and most importantly....overall personal experience. At Premier, our entire team HIGHLY recommends James for all of your Real Estate Transactions (buying or selling, short-sales, REO's, etc.). You will not be disappointed!

I am having the power steering pump problem on my 1995 as well. I see a reconditioned part online for 95 bucks. The window motor issue can be replaced by cleaning the contact and getting a new master switch. I found a new one on Alibaba express for $23. The dealer wanted ten times as much.

"She Put It Down (Remix)" feat. Fabolous, Twista and Tank
The album features a bonus track, a reprise of "She Don't Put It Down," that makes Joe's commercial aspirations even clearer thanks to dope cameos from Fabolous and Twista. It's interesting that he would choose to go in this major-label direction on an independent album. But as Joe's frequent lyrical meditations make clear, he wants to do things his own way. Slaughterhouse fans won't necessarily be too pleased about it and the album's indie release may squander its crossover moments, but either way, Joe gave us a close, intelligent look at his rather fascinating inner thoughts — and further confirmed his monstrous mic skills in the process.

More salmon, and more wanted From deep in my college memories, I recall one definition of politics as "the exercise of power, influence and authority." In the Northwest, salmon are politicians. They are power for the metaphorical machine that drives decisions on billions of dollars of public spending. They influence our outlook, our actions and plans for the future. They supply political leverage and motivation for countless government actions, programs and appropriations. 3 days, 4 hours ago
Oil trains still rolling along Accidents come with statistical near-inevitability. Unless you cease your risky behavior, it is difficult technically to reduce the chance of an accident to zero. If the probability is something above zero, then accidents will happen, somewhere, sometime. You can do what you can to reduce the chances, and lessen the consequences, but whatever you do, it will happen. You or your successors will have to deal with it. 4 days, 4 hours ago

Our schools and our diseases I had the mumps. If you don't know, mumps is a once-common childhood disease. It is a memorable infection, at least the parts after the fever subsides.

Move, for transport The Washington Legislature, for all the heavy responsibility it lifts this session, will be a failure if it cannot debate and pass some kind of package to maintain and improve our state's transportation system and its withering highways and bridges.

Yellow Mustard Sprouting Seeds, 1Lb [Organic]
Yellow Mustard Sprouting Seeds, 1Lb [Organic]
Most of us are reminded of ballparks, barbeques and hotdogs. Mustard, however, is used around the world to flavor all sorts of food. It is one of the most popular spices. But did you know that this tiny little seed not only packs a lot of flavor, but also has big health benefits?
Mustard is a spice commonly used in East Indian cooking. Recently as I was learning Indian cooking from a friends mother, we began discussing the health benefits of the various spices we were using, including mustard. I was surprised to learn that this tiny little seed can help with ailments ranging from food poisoning to cancer.
Mustard comes from the cabbage family and can be found in forty different varieties. However, there are three principal types of mustard that are commonly used: white, brown and black mustard seeds. White seeds, that are actually yellow in color, are the most mild. They are the ones used to make the yellow mustard most of us put on our hotdogs. Brown seeds, which are dark yellow in color, are a bit stronger and are used to make Dijon mustard. Black mustard seeds are the most pungent in taste.
Mustard seeds are used in their whole seed form, as a ground powder or combined with vinegar, wine or other liquids to create the paste most of us are familiar with. Mustard grows well in temperate climates. While Hungary, Great Britain, India, Canada and the United States currently produce the vast majority of mustard seeds used in the world today, the origin of mustard seeds can be traced to different areas of Europe and Asia.
The ancient Grecians used mustard seeds for their culinary properties. And it was in Rome that a paste from the ground seeds was first created, which is probably the ancestor of the mustard condiment we use today. Ancient Sanskrit writings dating back approximately 5,000 years, mention mustard seeds. Mustard seeds are also discussed in the New Testament in which faith and the kingdom of Heaven are compared to a mustard seed.
Early physicians, including Hippocrates, used mustard seed in their medicines. And even today, in many parts of the world, mustard seeds are used medicinally.
Mustard is an age-old purgative, meaning, it can be used to induce vomiting. This can be necessary in cases of accidental poisoning. My friends mother told me that in order to induce vomiting, you need to drink a mustard-flavored water concoction. Simply boil a teaspoon of seeds in a cup of water. Drain and allow the water to cool completely. Drink the mustard-flavored water all at once to cause vomiting.
For head or lung congestion, mustard is also a wonderful remedy. I was told that to clear congestion, prepare a warm foot-bath with water and a tablespoon of ground mustard seeds. Soaking your feet in this will draw the blood to the lower part of the body, and thus relieve congestion.
Mustard can also be used to help alleviate respiratory issues by making a poultice of ground mustard and applying it directly to the chest and throat.
In fact, mustard seeds are like tiny multi-vitamin pills. They contain calcium, iron, manganese, phosphorus, zinc, niacin, and dietary fiber. Mustard seeds also contain omega 3 fatty acids, which can lower cholesterol levels and help prevent heart disease. The seeds also have selenium and magnesium, which both possess anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis or asthma. Mustard seeds are also known their anti-cancer effects due to the isothiocyanates in them.
