i'm not mad at you...i don't even know who you are

music is subjective...i think it's foolish to talk shite about any artist, just because their work doesn't appeal to me...but in this case, jack white is esteemed by a wide variety of other artists from a variety of genres...they know more about music than i do as a non-musician...and i do happen to like a good bit of his music...

I was coming here to post - late - that I never thought I would see Jack White and Eminem playing together on a Thanksgiving. My brain no longer works.

I never called you dumb; I said your take was dumb. I noted that you didn't even recognize his music, which is ignorant by definition. You have remarkably thin skin for someone who came into the thread so hot. I am glad my emotions don't put me on tilt so easily.

I never said shite to you, I said that Jack White had one hit and was overrated. I was immediately attacked for it, then you started in on me. I do have thin skin when people start attacking me for a difference of musical opinion. If you like his music, great, enjoy. I'm not required to share your position, nor am I required to shut up.

That is not exactly accurate.

quote:

Three songs no one knows and his overplayed "hit."


I just realized you didn't recognize that 'Til I Collapse" is an Eminem song. With over 1 billion Spotify streams. I want to light into your use of popularity of a metric of quality, but I am clearly under your skin and have no interest in pimping you further.

You got hammered for a hot take, and you took it incredibly personally.

BTW, I agree I am an a-hole and a pretentious prick on tOT. I am who I am* and don't get bent out of shape when someone points it out. Just like someone saying I have blonde hair and blue eyes, it is simply a statement of fact. I want it clear I have no ill will toward you, and this conversation hasn't changed that at all, I would still buy you a beer and have a real conversation like I would anyone on TD.


*more accurately Obtuse1 is who he is and only exists within the four corners of TD.

Calling Jack White overrated isn't a hot take. You calling me dumb and musically illiterate was uncalled for, and you meant it in your typical smug, superior, condescending manner. I didn't take it personally, I took it how it was intended on your part. In the future, don't be a dick.

By that metric most of rock history are one-hit or no-hit wonders. The Grateful Dead had one. Velvet Underground had zero. Ramones had one. Pixies had zero. Nine Inch Nails had one. Tool had zero. Radiohead’s entire American chart history is Creep. The Clash had one. Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin are "one-hit-wonders.". Credence Clearwater Revival had zero.

What they and Jack White have in common is they all sold a shite ton of albums.

Top 40 chart performance tells you what 14-year-olds bought that particular week.

He has multiple platinum records and is in the rock and roll hall of fame. Not that I even care about those stats, but you are the one who brought up his popularity. One hit wonders don’t sell platinum records over and over, and continue to sell out arenas. What an asinine statement to make.

Jack White is a patient at the dental practice I am in up here in Nashville. He came in a couple of years ago and had a crown done. Nice guy. He was pretty quiet and low key. I just treated him like another everyday patient and I think he appreciated that.

I effing adore Jack's blues-rock style. He's got the TDS, but I love the music.

You sound like a Politard who is weighed down by hubris because a bunch of other Politards liked your posts about shitlibs.

Like this bunch excited over Eminem would watch White people who were doing actual music and not cRap.

These weak asses picked the worst culture on Earth to try an imitate. Half of them wear a flat brim turned sideways and have their pants sagging halfway down their arse.

As a solo artist, Jack White has zero platinum records. The White Stripes have two. They did not deserve induction into the Hall of Fame.

And you sound like a moron, I've never used the terms politard or shitlib in my life. This thread is mostly about how much Jack White sucks as a musician, his TDS was mentioned once. Yours is chronic.

But that’s not what you said, which was:

Why even mention him as a solo artist? Or it that only when it’s convenient? You can’t have it both ways.

Your argument is pathetic. Instead of digging in, just say you don’t like him and said something dumb. Save face. You don’t just have to keep digging in for the sake of winning an argument you’ve clearly lost.
