Meg White

She's good for the gals.

How do you feel about her spending, quote, "An exorbitant amount of money" on the dress worn by Meg White on the cover of The White Stripes album Elephant?

I can't believe that was on sale for that much money.

Yeah.

If she wore that dress, no context, like, you wouldn't be able to go, "I know where that dress is from."

She wanted to wear-

"That's Meg White's dress." You wouldn't

... she want, she wanted to wear it at her Daisy chain and Feels Festival, but she said it was, quote, "Too fucking hot." So she says, "If I do it in the winter, I'll wear it then."

I started with like, just to see if myself some grounding, because again, I could list.

depending on what i want the band to sound like depending on what style whatever there's so many options so i decided to sort of start by narrowing in on like what is an interesting collaboration that is not obvious but i think could work and then sort of building the rest of the band around that and what came to mind for me what i settled on uh is meg white and gerard waye Oh, hell yeah.

I think that could be really interesting.

Gerard Way, for people who don't know, is the lead singer of My Chemical Romance.

Yeah.

I think that, again, because My Chem has like really technical, really fast drumming, and that's not really Meg White style, but I think...

the two of them could have a really interesting musical conversation.

And I think that he could, or is it he? I know he's described Gerard Way as non-binary, but I don't remember what pronouns.

I think you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who, like, loves Jack White and The White Stripes more than me.

Rodrigo was the successful bidder on the vintage white Gunne Sax dress worn by drummer Meg White for the artwork of the band's 2003 fourth album, Elephant.

Figure out a way.

It was put up for sale by Julien's Auction with an estimated value of between 4,000 and 6,000 US dollars, but ultimately sold to Rodrigo for $25,600.

The thing is with, like The White Stripes is that people forget that, like the drumming seems very simple, but it's, it has to be because of what Jack White's doing.

So Meg White gets a lot of stick for her drumming style, but it's the same as like Ringo Starr, where you're like-

Yeah

... well, nobody else thought to do it that way.

Yeah.

But like think about the fact that like Meg White has just disappeared in the last like decade.

Like I don't...

Like does anybody know where Meg White is? You know what I mean? Like [laughs]

Yeah, I don't think that she has any intent of being a public figure or a public face.

Um, when The White Stripes were at the Hall of Fame or, or like were-

You know what I mean? [laughs] That's like a high bar.

Yeah.

Oh, Rue.

Okay, what links Gina Schock of The Go-Go's with Meg White, Karen Carpenter-

[laughs]

... and Mo Tucker? Rosie.

She says she would never use AI in her music, a hard line, and she told a funny story about asking ChatGPT for Olivia Rodrigo song titles and hating all of them.

She also bought the white dress Meg White wore on the White Stripes' Elephant cover for twenty-five and six hundred thousand at an auction, planned to wear it at Daisy Chain, and then decided it was too hot.

Relatable.

Fifth, the heavier stuff.
