Jack White Kilted in new issue of Rolling Stone

RiverKilt,

Jack White is more famous in the States for his band The White Stripes. They have 4 or 5 Albums and won a grammy in 2003 as Best Alternative Band. He formed it with his then wife, Meg. They have since divorced but keep the band together. The band he was with in the Rolling Stone picture is a side project with some friends. The White Stripes tour the world but have shown up on SNL, Conan and Letterman as musical guests at various times. Give them a listen - you might like them. BTW, I've never seen him kilted with the White Stripes. They always wear red and white clothes, sometimes with a little black.

Jack White also made news a couple of years ago by teaming up with Country Legend Loretta Lynn for her album.

Thanks ckelly,

Nice to know more about the young man. His head seems in the right place wanting to wear a kilt to honor his heritage.

If you ever wanna know more about Perry Como, The Kingston Trio, or The Ventures....let me know.

Ron,

You should see my collection of Bing Crosby, Mel Torme, Ella Fitzgerald and the whole Cole Porter Songbook featuring songs by Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong.

I appreciate it all except Rap and techno. I grew up constantly listening to Harry Belafonte and the Beach Boys - now there's a combination. Another fun current band is called the Arctic Monkeys. I also love Elvis Costello, Joan Armatrading, Warren Zevon, Van Morrison, Melissa Etheridge, Sarah McCklachlan and a lot of traditional and pub Irish bands. I guess my musical tastes are as ecclectic as my choice of wearing a kilt.

Aye,

Like with kilts, I like what I like. Won't tell you about my three Michael Parks blues records from the 70's (guy who played lead in the Then Came Bronson series about a loner roaming the land on a motorcycle)....or did I just?

Michael Parks sings the blues?? :confused:

I remember him. In fact, I almost ran into him, literally, when they were filming a seen for that show down at a motel near where I lived in Mesa, Arizona. I walked around the corner and there he was, wearing that black watch cap and everything.

Next thing I heard was the director yelling “Hey, kid! Get out of the shot!”

Hadn’t thought about that one for a while.
