By Dick Porter
Described by Mojo as 'the hottest chunk of screaming yahoo to kick rock's sorry arse into gear since Nirvana', the White Stripes are the folksy ex-husband and wife duo who stunned the music world with their back-to-basics blues/punk rock. Rock biographer Dick Porter analyses the quirkiness of their former claim to be brother and sister, Jack's austere Puritanism and obsessions with truth and death, and the child-like innocence of the couple's matching red-and-white colour schemes. The book also considers Jack and Meg's discomfort with their status as 'the unlikeliest saviours of rock'n'roll'.
