Cover art for Black Math lyrics by White Stripes, The

plato_03 is an example of an over-analytical music junkie who loves to attribute meaning to songs that don't have it. Jack White, a professed anti-intellectual, would never pack one of his songs with the load of bullshit that good ol' Plato is claiming. And if you really think about it, would the White Stripes stretch that far from comfortable Detroit to write a song about the fucking Freemasons? The answer is no, and if you disagree, go write a doctoral thesis on how Superman affected Trinidad's economy by imitating Nietzsche's model and sticking to the tenets of a phallus centered literary world.
