Congrats Jack White!

Jack (Gillis) White married uber model Karen Elson. I'm really diggin' this guy. Not only does his new album have one of the best titles ever for a rock n' roll record, but he gets married the way a gentleman would. He got married in a canoe by a Shaman priest in the middle of a river at a point at which three rivers intersect and then he went and had the marriage blessed by a proper catholic priest in a proper cathedral. Oh, and his ex-wife/sister/drummer was also a (slash) maid(matron to be specific) of honor. What a cool guy. Did Mick Jagger ever do anthing this cool? Did Robert Plant? What an extraordinary life this man is leading and how lucky I am to be able to read and watch it.

in his own words.

"Well I'm sorry but I'm not
interested in gold mines,
oil wells, shipping or real estate
what would I liked to have been?
everything you hate

There is a man
a certain man
and for the poor you may be shure
that he'll do all he can
who is this one?
who's favorite son?
just by his action has the traction
magnets on the run
who likes to smoke?
enjoys a joke?
and wouldn't get a bit
upset if he were really broke?
with wealth and fame
he's still the same
I'll bet you five he's not alive
If you don't now his name"

And another...


"Well i hold the rope
and i hold the sail
and i kept my papers
to keep from land in jail
and i fought piranhas
and i fought the cold
there was noone with me
i was all alone

Well it's easter morning now
and there's noone around
so i unroll the cement
and walk into the town
there was noone with me
and i was all alone
and i fought piranhas
and i fought the cold

Well you know what it's like
i don't got to tell you
who puts up a fight
walking out of hell now
when you fought piranhas
and you fought the cold
there's nobody with you
and you're all alone"
