So if you know me – you probably know that I have a serious Jack White problem. Anything he does is perfection to me. When I heard the news that The White Stripes had broken up I nearly died because I knew I would not have the chance to see them live. When I read THIS news – that he would be releasing a solo album in April titled Blunderbuss – I nearly died again. I will be seeing him live for this. Oh yes.

I’m spending the day on the computer – in blogland, editing from my last JJP wedding, ordering product. Over on ye olde tv Cold Mountain is on. If you haven’t seen this movie – go watch it. But even more importantly. Go listen to the soundtrack. The movie is moving in and of itself, but paired with the music….the music kind of makes it for me. The music is “The Crying Game” worthy I can tell you that. Some songs on the soundtrack are religious – which I am not – but I still frequently listen to them. The music is raw and full of emotion. Please, go listen.
Here is Jack White performing “Wayfaring Stranger” live.
Tim Eriksen, Riley Baugus, Tim’OBrien – I Wish My Baby Was Born
The most beautiful couple ever has finally allowed themselves to be photographed together. They both have the most perfect milky skin. They should have some pale little ghost babies that I can look at.
Thats some serious stuff right there. This man amazes me and since he’s pretty private, I’m so glad he got together with other rock legends, The Edge, and Jimmy Page for the rockumentary It Might Get Loud.
The above excerpt is the very first scene. And you find yourself watching with your mouth open, eyes wide in astonishment. I could never find enough words for Jack White. He is a musical genius. He is a legend, already. He is a bluessmith.
I get emotional when it comes to some music. While watching this documentary and listening to these men play and speak and share, it gives me a feeling that I’m….privileged to be witnessing such magic. As if just hearing their music is the start of some great revolution.
You might think I’m weird. Whatevs. Go sit in a dark room and take this movie in. Stat.
