Jack White posted on Instagram about his disdain for President Trump, who has drawn the ire of rockers. He said:
“Look at how disgusting trump has transformed the historic White House. It’s now a vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler’s dressing room. Can’t wait for the UFC match on the front lawn too, he’s almost fully achieved the movie “Idiocracy”.
Look at his disgusting taste, would you even buy a used car from this conman, let alone give him the nuclear codes? A gold plated trump bible would look perfect up on that mantle with a pair of trump shoes on either side wouldn’t it? What an embarrassment to American history. Also pictured in this photograph, a REAL leader of a nation in a black suit. -III.”
Pearl Jam’s ex-drummer took a shot at Melania Trump earlier today over POTUS’ meeting with Vladimir Putin.
White also recently wrote, “Notice something different about this here Fender Triplecaster that the Detroit style guitar slinger Olivia Jean is riffing on? This was dropped off to me yesterday by the Fender Custom Shop in Nashville. Why? Because Kirk Hammett (another great Filipino American guitar player like Mz. Olivia here, you may have heard of him) asked them if they could make him a Thinline version of the Triplecaster and if they could also “Make one for Jack too.” Kirk asked me if I approved and I of course fully endorse ANY mods done to any of my designs, let alone from the great Hammett, and this one is especially cool because a lot of folks don’t know that the Triplecaster is already chambered! Which I added to the design to reduce weight from all the other metal objects happening on it. So all that was needed at the custom shop was to get the patterns out for the F hole and voila. Cool mod, and thank you Kirk for getting me one too, a great match with the CuNiFe wide range pickup like the old ’72 tele. Can’t wait to dig into this today (that is IF I can snag it back out of Olivia’s hands though!). I hope this pisses off some more Tele purists! We have enough “regular” boring guitars out there right folks? Haha, Y’all send me photos of your Triplecaster mods, I want to see them, and maybe I’ll post ’em here too. #kirkhammett #oliviajean #fender #triplecasterthinline #whammett.”
