Jack White Is A Brilliant Man

Posted on 14. Sep, 2009 by loswhit in Music


I think Jack Black is brilliant.
Literally.
Amazing.
And in a really disturbing way, that video was brilliant.
I want to know…

How did that concept/creative meeting go?
Dude! I have an idea! Your walking through the suburbs, and then…

    Did you mean Jack White? Or was there a play on words I’m missing?

    Regardless, I thought the same thing the first time I saw that video. Not sure what it is about it.

    And yes, Jack White is pretty amazing. Love White Stripes and his other side projects. Huge fan of The Raconteurs as well as his new stuff with The Dead Weather.

    The light shining through him at the end – nice touch.

    Jack White is weird. Interesting concept, and I can see the symbolism he's going for here, but it's a little over the top. Just my opinion, but I doubt it's ever a good idea to associate automatic weapons with simple inter-personal conflict. hahaha. Apart from that fact, it's a well-done video. Whatever happened to simple melodramatic symbolism though? I think this over-complicates something that's actually pretty simple and easy for most people to relate to.
    *Jack Black? hahaha… that's classic Carlos, just classic.

    that was 4 minutes and 38 seconds of my life I will never get back…

    That's an awesome video…so hardcore.

    I love, love, love this video. I saw It Might Get Loud this weekend and it made me love Jack White's work even more. Anyone who's ever picked up a guitar should see it. :)

    Good stuff…it would have been fun to sit in on the creative brainstorm!!

    umm……I don’t get it. I usually like this kind of thing, just don’t get it. Now I’m confused

    I hate those jeans. Odd, with a layer of meaningfulness. Not my cup of tea, but I see it.

    I saw this video a couple of weeks ago, and I was like, I don’t even know what’s going on here. I just couldn’t turn away!

    Jack White is brilliant.
    I think the video is ironically close to what kids in the burbs do every day. They’re trying to figure out life…living a “normal” existence…& blowing each other away at the same time.
    Great video.

    Yes I like the commentary on how for the most part in America we live out of our fears. Then in reaction to those fears overreact or don’t react to interpersonal conflict in appropriate ways.

    But are we missing the global conflict references? M16 vs. AK47

    America is concerned with keeping the status quo (suburbs). Keep everybody happy. US doesn’t allow pictures of real raw pictures of the war. We want to keep war sanitized and not look at the ugly part of it. Some parallels can be drawn between how we as people react to interpersonal conflict and how we as a country react to global conflict. .

    come on now… Jack Black is a good actor/musician too…

    This is actually a video about the conflict between the conservative right and the liberal left. It has nothing to do with social commentary or relationships/marriages that are falling apart.
