He’s Finding It Harder To Be A Gentleman
Looks like Electra, a DJ for Chicago’s alternative rock station Q101, decided to play Icky Thump in its entirety several days before its release. Guess who called the station directly to vent, from Spain no less? Leading man Jack White, busy performing on the Stripes’ European tour. Needless to say, Jack was pretty angry and choice words were exchanged, words like “naive” and “coward.”
Here’s the full story courtesy of MTV.com.
I won’t furnish an opinion about whether DJ Electra’s intentions were pure enough or whether Jack overreacted or any of it. Icky Thump is still coming out on June 19 and that’s all that matters.
I will say that there’s only one song the crestfallen DJ could play to express her feelings:
All alone and walking / Nobody’s talking / Why can’t you be nicer to me?
