Jack White, Poet

When Jack White recently criticized his hometown of Detroit, MI, some responded with their own criticisms of the White Stripe. Never to do things the normal way, Jack decided to kiss and make up by writing a poem for his stomping grounds. No word yet from Detroit if she accepted the apology. MP3s and entire poem after the jump.

BREAKING: New Raconteurs album out next week!

Via PF: Jack White’s other other better half has decided to get the record to fans as soon as possible upon finishing it not two weeks ago.  The 14-track Consolers of the Lonely will be available in all formats.

UPDATE: 3 “cold” MP3s posted below.

From our Carl Carpenter file, from MTV:

WHITE AND DYLAN COLLABORATE
Jack White says he’s working with Bob Dylan on his new album, a set of
unfinished songs started by late country star Hank Williams. White is one
of a number of high profile musicians Dylan has asked to contribute, writing
lyrics for the incomplete tracks. Explaining that he had worked on the song
‘You Know That I Know’, White explained how other stars had been asked by Dylan to help out with around 25 different tracks. “He did one, asked Willie Nelson to do one, asked me to do one, and I think Lucinda Williams and Alan Jackson are on it too”, he told MTV. “I think it might come out this year. It’s a cool record”.
