Meg Is A Great Drummer, Says Jack White
The White Stripe defends his "sister"...
Jack White has hit out at critics who have dismissed his White Stripe "sister" Meg's ability on the drum kit. Ms White, who has been ridiculed for her, shall we say, basic drumming style. However, he recent problems with anxiety have caused the Stripes to take a break from performing, leading Jack to jump to her defence.
"Her femininity and extreme minimalism are too much to take for some metal heads and reverse-contrarian hipsters," the singer told The New York Post earlier this week.
"She can do what those with 'technical prowess' can’t. She inspires people to bash on pots and pans. For that, they repay her with gossip and judgment. In the end she's laughing all the way to the Prada handbag store. She wins every time."
