one thing i should mention in realtion to my previous post. the thing that keeps me from thinking it's lesbian is because the video shows a guy (jack) and girl (meg). if it were a chick, i think they'd extend that theme into the video somehow. but alas, they do not. however, jack has sung songs in which he takes on a transgender (or maybe gay) persona. he did a cover of dolly parton's (i think) song jolene. in which s/he says: "jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene/ i'm begging you please don't take my man." so that clearly shows either he turned the song into a gay man pleading for his lover or that jack is singing as a woman. just something to think about while we're on the topic. sorry for posting three times in a row. |

whoops, posted to soon... read some more of you guys' lesbian comments, i'm still not convinced, though... sorry... musicguru: why is it misleading? well, i think he's referring to the confusion between love and lust. does he really love her is where the misleading-ness comes from. why would the girl be dominant? well, the trollop can obviously have anyone she wants, so she leads the relationship. she's out of his league so naturally he's gonna become her lapdog. i've known plenty of relationships (my own included) where the female is dominant. bobby doesn't consider it cheating because it's just kissing. pretty innocent. much more innocent than lesbian sex, don't you think? anyone, lol, maybe someone should just ask jack or meg about it and settle it. anyway, someone asked what genre they were, but i guess they're pretty hard to classify- both their chart-topping songs (fell in love with a girl and dead leaves and the dirty ground) sound much different from most of their other stuff. the stuff on their first two cds are obviously very influenced by mississippi delta blues (as jack himself says). they've been termed: blues rock, blues punk, indie, alternative, blues punk-pop, buncha things. one of the good things about white stripes is that they can't be classified- they're that unique and that different. |

| i agree with petra. i love this song but have little clue what exactly it's about- a good thing that turned into a manipulative relationship when she showed her true colors? | |
| The White Stripes – The Same Boy You've Always Known Lyrics | 23 years ago |

i must admit i'm a bit confused about this song. but my theory is that HE broke up with HER (or maybe, having recently broken up with someone myself, i am twisting his words to fit my meaning) for the first few stanzas and then it seems to reverse at the end. so i'm still trying to decide which one is right... "you fell dowm of course/and then you got up of course/ and you started over/ forgot my name of course" that makes sounds as if he broke up with her, and she took it rough but eventually got over him completely "think of what the past did/ it could've lasted/ so put it in your basket/ i hope you know a strong man/ who can lend you a hand/ lowering my casket" sounds like after she started to remember she still couldn't get over him, so he's basically saying, "stop thinking about what could have been, find yourself someone else who will help you forget me." but then the entire final stanza makes me question whether it was really he that broke up with her... "i thought this is just today/ and soon you'd be retuning/ the coldest blue ocean water/ cannot stop my heart and mind from burning/... and if there's anything good about me/ i'm the only one who knows" anyone else confused about the meaning or anyone else thinks HE broke up with HER? |

um, refer back to the reading materials you read about every star becoming a black hole, that's simply not true. the vast, vast majority of stars are not massive enough to produce black holes. a start like the sun (which is average in every respect) will prolly end up a white dwarf. it will eventually just cast off it's outer layers rather gently (by astronomical standards) when it stops fusing hydrogen. what happens when a star is very massive and dense is that it implodes because the force of it's hydrogen fusion become less than it's own weight. this implosion produces so much energy that it then actually explodes in a supernova. however, very few supernovas actually become black holes because they additionally have to be extremely compact. if their mass is high enough and their radius/diameter/circumference reaches a critical limit, they become a black hole (gravitation so strong even light speed is lower than escape velocity). this critical radius is the event horizon of the black hole- the boundary of the black hole. some interesting stuff, you should read up on it. for everyone else, i'm sorry for being so technical about it, but was making an effort to correct some misconceptions. as a disclaimer, know that this data is off the top of my head, so it might have some discrepencies with reality. at any rate, it is a significantly more accurate version than above. |

| The White Stripes – I Can't Wait Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| speaking of the intro sounding like nirvana. did anyone else notice that the beginning of "dead leaves and the dirty ground" also sounds like the bridge (towards the end of the song) of green day's "brain stew?" again a little slowed down and the notes are more discrete, but i made the connection right away the first time i heard "dead leaves." | |
| The White Stripes – We're Going to Be Friends Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
definitely has a lot of innocence to it, but maybe that's a little deceptive (or i'm overanalyzing it). if you've ever read the poem "in just" by e.e. cummings, which is similar to this song in many respects, you'll know what i mean. we know that this innocence will not last. most of us (all of us, i hope) visiting this website know that eventually we lose those carefree days and have to deal with all the problems and complications that come with growing up. jack can tell he and suzy are gonna be friends, but what will that mean when they're all grown up? is he gonna get her pregnant? will she cheat on him with his best friend? some other lyrics that sort of capture this same vein is system of a down's "soil," in which tankian says: "my memories are of fun and friendship, of weakness within the strength of youth, for reasons undefined... friends for years, images in red, blew off his own motherfucking head... why the fuck did you take him away from us, you motherfucker!?" hope i made sense. |

| does anyone know if the big three referred to in this song are the historical allied leaders during world war ii? that is: churchill, roosevelt, and stalin? it would add a new, more political dimension to this song if it were. | |

maybe it's just the fact that lately everything seems sexual to me, or i;m being immature and taking the monkey analogy too far, but this song seems to be about bigtime sexual frustration. and if it's not, well, that's too bad, 'cause it will forever be my private meaning... One more thing... the lyrics are "green apples" not 'green eyeballs." check the lyrics for yourself on the official site at: whitestripes.com/lyrics/jimmy.txt |
