Re: What Big Deals (or wanks) have been going on in fandom spaces outside this community recently?

Jack White had some emails (or something or other) that he wrote to his lawyer leaked out and then later in a Rolling Stones article go in further about how he didn't like The Black Keys because they're TOTALLY copying Jack White and totes acting as if they're the ones who did it first when everybody KNOWS that it was really Jack White. He came out with an apology yesterday basically saying he didn't MEAN it like that, and that things were taken out of context. He actually is rooting for and respects the Black Keys and any other artists out there (because he had mentioned Amy Winehouse, Adele, and Iggy Azelea) making music.

A lot of Black Keys fans are pissed and a lot of White Stripes fans are saying that the Black Keys are assholes who steal other bands' music so it's not like Jack White is wrong. Oh right, the drummer from the Black Keys more or less was like, "I'm friends with a lot of musicians but there's this ONE GUY WHO I WON'T NAME that is definitely NOT my friend."

And I'm feeling like the only person who likes both bands but can see that all of these guys are all tripping on their ego a bit too much and I JUST MISS MEG OK!

But yeah, the whole thing came off so much like kids in high school fighting over nothing, really. I love Jack White, don't get me wrong I think he's so creative and talented, but his mouth has gotten him in trouble a few times. As for the Black Keys, I like their music a lot, but they have come off a little dick-ish at times as well.

I think as long as they're not blatantly terrible people, I won't stop liking or listening to these guys' music. You don't have to like the people they are to enjoy their music, right?
