Bad Reviews Get To Jack White

When Jane Rocca of Beat magazine tells Jack White he is often referred to as a musical genius, The White Stripes frontman says he tends to focus on the criticism instead. “I was having this conversation with Beck the other day and I was telling him, ‘Isn’t it weird how you can’t get the negative sh** out of your head once you’ve read a bad review, or someone has said something wrong about you.’ People like Britney Spears enter this kind of business for fame and fortune; that has never been my desire. We just make music. Fame hasn’t changed me at all. I am still the same guy.”
