Powerful beat, repetitive simple theme, inane lyrics, random dynamic choreography through the set, complete blockage of normal mental processes, what's not to like? 

Who's this Obscure artist?  Never heard of him.  Do you have a clip?

You may remember Seven Nation Army if you owned a radio in the late 2000s. https://youtu.be/0J2QdDbelmY

Fell in love with a girl also got a lot of airplay around 02. https://youtu.be/fTH71AAxXmM

Personally I prefer the music he made in The White Stripes to his solo career,  but the man can play a guitar.

Okay, I know the White Stripes. I didn't know he was in that band.

Just for clarity, Jack White is not obscure. He's been a Big Name in music for the past several years, though not always as a solo act. I could be wrong, but I would guess more Americans recognize his name than Joe Rogan's. He's definitely more of a celebrity than Guy Fieri.

I think at least a couple of us suspect you are.  ;)

He's definitely more of a celebrity than Guy Fieri.
So he's got his own TV show like Guy does? I didn't know that.

Heard of Joe Rogan many times.  Heard of Guy Fieri many times.  Never, ever heard of Jack White.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I believe Jack White does the vocals for the female character in the "Danger! High Voltage" video.

FWIW, APS is not a representative sample of the US. There are probably a lot of Very Famous Music Industry Figures many of us do not know. We're old.

I recall someone here having to explain Old Town Road to me, a few years ago.

I worked with Jack White. Good guy. USMC veteran and good Republican.

Not some *expletive deleted*che bag musician.

Probably all publicity is underhandedly suppressed as racist.

Why do I have the suspicion they are just making fun of modern tastes in music?

This theory seems to fit the data as presented.

This morning I went and did some work with a woman on her farm.  Out of the blue she asked me if I was "Trumpist" or something.  I told her I was a Republican though Trump "wasn't exactly my favorite person" (which is accurate).  That seemed to satisfy her.

I like the woman quite a lot, but why did she even bring it up?  What would she have done if I was a huge Trump fan?  Would she have been obligated to hate me?  It was just bizarre.  Talking about politics with strangers is just a bad, bad idea for the most part.

Nothing to see here.
Imagine the MSM reaction if someone on the right said something like this about Biden?
