1. Seems like he jumped the guy.

I mean his statement, in favor of his defense, is from his publicists. The statement on the other side is from the bar management.

What a jackass, if he did that to the guy. And it looks like he did.

6. Uh, no -- the other statement is from the other guy's management.

The Von Bondies' management. The other guy is the singer for the band "The Von Bondies."

In other words, dueling spokesmen.

10. Okay, so let me get this straight...

...this year JW gets a best-selling CD, gets to be in a major movie, gets to bed sinewy "Chicago" Renee Zelwegger AND fluffy "Bridget Jones" Renee Zelwegger in the same year, AND win a fight?!

It's official, I hate Jack White.

2. Jack's gotta be able to hit better than Meg

3. He won?

You are kidding me right?

[rumguy]

4. the full story isn't out yet

but the other guy looks like he got the worst of it...

[interceptor]

5. No kidding

Looks like he viciously pummeled Jack's fist with his face.

[THUNDER HANDS]

7. awesome

Don't mess with the greatest band on the planet - the White Stripes. :D

8. Jack White should be sent back in time to the 70s

Where he may pretend to an ounce of originality.

:)

(just kidding! measured against some other bands today they're pretty good)

Goes to show--the only way a pudgy/feeble indierock frontman could win a bar fight is if he's squaring off against another pudgy/feeble indierock frontman. Unless the guy is Henry Rollins, or maybe Mark Smith. The former beacuse he's a monster, the latter because he's fucking crazy.

9. Mark E. Smith would beat Rollins' ass down hard.

Hank is ripped, but he just seems link the kind of guy who would rather try to talk his problems out.

Smith would sneak up behind and kick him in the balls.

11. So I guess he can fight better than play "music"

If what you define music is razor blades in a blender.

12. Maybe for his nsxt trick

he'll learn how to tune his friggin' guitar.

13. Magic Stick makes world headlines!

yeah, it happened last weekend in Detroit
they used to be friends, Jack produced a Von Bondies album, something in their friendship went awry but I can't find the dirt on what happened (if anyone knows, please tell me!) So yeah, apparently Jack attacked Jason because he refused to speak to him...punched him good! (Jack has a nice upper body, btw)

I think it's damn funny Jack White punched someone in the face at the Magic Stick and it makes world news!
