Jack White says it's not fair that he was accused of verbally assaulting that DJ Electra who leaked the new White Stripes album, 'Icky Thump' by airing it on Chicago's Q101, and says that all he did was ask her why she'd done it.
White says all this. I'm not sure it all makes sense, but here it is: "When you're famous, you're not allowed to have any kind of reaction, unless it's completely positive, saying, 'I love rainbows and stars'. But this radio station, in this instance, I was having a private conversation with somebody, and they wanted to exploit it and try to make even more press out of the situation. Jack White, the singer and songwriter, isn't reacting to you; it's the president of Third Man Records - our record label - calling you and asking for an explanation. I'm not screaming and yelling at anybody. I'm just saying, 'Who did it? Tell me why you did it.' [They reacted] like I called up and threatened to burn down the building or something, for God's sake".
