Some background. I think that the White Stripes are talented but pretty over-rated, especially by Rolling Stone. For instance, Rolling Stone included the band's album "Elephant" in the RS Top 500 albums of all time. Most recently, RS ran two separate articles (one giving background on the songs, the other a more traditional review with a 3.5-star rating) about the Stripes' new album in one issue.
This conversation ensued this morning:
Me: Who do you think Jack and Meg are blowing over at Rolling Stone?
J: I don't know. Maybe Jack is blowing Jan Hammer.
Me: Uh, do you mean Jann Wenner, the publisher? Jan Hammer is the guy that did the Miami Vice theme song.
J. starts humming the Miami Vice Theme Song.
Me, in a pseudo-Germanic accent: Yah, Jack, Meg, I will write the theme song for your movie...
