My daughter got her bumblebee telecaster today.  She was stoked, and so was I.

I finally watched these, tons of people were talking about it.

This should end any debate if Jack White's a real player or not.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had a hard time not just watching the drummer. I don’t know if his whole setup is mostly showmanship or if it is borne out of comfort for his style, but either way I’m down with it.

Weirdly I’ve been trying to get into jack white but just can’t. This is my like 10th time trying to run through his songs just cant

Yeah, I watched both those vids -- still nothing.  It's not that he can't play, I'm just very "eh" on what he chooses to play.

I didn’t know there was so much JW hate in here. I thought the SNL performance was awesome! Wasn’t he subbing for some idiot that wouldn’t follow the safety rules? I think he had to throw that show together at the last minute and it seemed pretty polished.

The Jack White disdain has always been strong on the Shag/Surl. Though not from me. The White Stripes show I saw at Music Midtown many moons ago was absolutely epic.

Second favorite was Raconteurs at Bonnaroo.

Strapping on and playing loud is what it’s all about. Shades of Neil Young.

Adorama special today, Lake Placid Players Series Tele or Strat, $539.

I got caught up in the spirit of Adorama’s Sukkot shut down and threw shekels at my computer and bought the Lake Placid Player Series Strat that arrived today. 

There is a subtle aqua tint that is visible in person, but that my iPhone 6s chose to ignore, so on some of the photos I used the “Vivid Warm” filter in an attempt to bring it out. 

I haven’t even held it yet, but I love the satin finish on the back of the neck.

I will, though I’m not one to really be the guy to listen to for an expert review. 

I’d like to mention that if you use the Adorama links in previous posts, the Tele & The Strat are still listed for $539 and I checked the links AFTER this ad popped up in my Facebook feed this afternoon...

So use the links if you’ve got the itch.

Jack's two significant contributions to music were that documentary and Meg White's bigass titties.

I had a couple of friends who went to a show in LA in the early 2000s. A couple of Dallas area guys, one went to UT, and they had floor general admission tickets and got close to the stage to see Jack do his thing. 

Then the music started...

...and they watched Meg’s tits slosh around for the next 90 minutes.

If Jack White had to face off John Mayer in a steel cage death match I'm really not sure which I would root for.

I don't know about Jack, but I don't think he could beat Mayer in a 'being an asshole' contest.  And that is from before he put out his first record....I can't imagine Mayer is any nicer now.

A good friend of mine is buddies with Jack.  They do a lot of music biz stuff together, so my friend spends a lot of time in Nashville.  He swears Jack is a salt of the earth dude.

I still don't really like his playing very much.

I've posted this before, but about the time Mayer put out his very first record and just after he won an open mic/songwriting thing at Eddie's Attic in Atlanta, he was playing at another venue here.  He threw a shit fit and started yelling at the young, female bartender because the 'green room' didn't have the brand of bottled water he requested.  

The 'green room' in question is 10x6, no door, one wooden bench nailed to the wall.  It's a fucking closet..with no door.  More than two people and it is full.  He treated her like shit and he was a NOBODY at the time.  Prior to that, he had been taking tickets at the door of Eddie's.  A friend of mine tells me all the time, "When people show you who they are, BELIEVE them."  Takes a big person to yell at a 21 year old girl because he didn't get his preferred brand of water.  David Bowie played an unannounced show at this same room around that time and was gracious as hell to everyone at the venue.  Fuck Mayer.

Who would you say is the bigger asshole Hula, Mayer or Paul Simon? emoji1787.pngemoji1787.pngemoji1787.png

Oooo....great question.  I give the title to Paul Simon, due to his longevity and the fact that he makes money off of stealing other people's work.

And, you know, actual guitar designs.

And... probably... other people’s bitches.
