“Haven’t seen the sun in weeks
My skin is getting pale...” – The Raconteurs, “Consoler of the Lonely”

Now the White Stripes are gone we have to look for other Jack White venues. My quote is from the title track of a Raconteurs album: a good place to start with. I like White’s passion for music and riff-driven guitar playing a lot. He’s some kind of new Pete Townshend version, without the antics, but with the same tendency to play until it bleeds. I also recommend Davis Guggenheim’s documentary “It Might Get Loud” contrasting him with Jimmy Page and The Edge.
