An Uncompleted Path of Diversion

I was going to begin this one with the broad topic of children's programming. I actually was finishing the post where I took a stab or two at that yellow, bucktooth sponge and ask the rhetorical question, 'Why should we trust a 7 year old and a monkey with shoes to guide us through the jungle?'

But... Life is filled with sudden turns and twists that the silver screens and authors of fiction only strive to create realistically. I received news that my grandfather, who came out of surgery with a thumbs up now has taken the turn for the worst. I'm not a big fan with blending too much of my personal life into the blog (take notice of the absence of names), so I'll do what I do when I get those strange urges to randomly type about nonsense.... I'll type about nonsense. That's just the forewarning.


I picked a safe topic with the next name on the MPULGS....Mister Pedro's Uncompleted List of Great Storytellers. Today, I wanted to put a spotlight on Jack White (III). Jack White is best known for his work in The White Stripes. He never fails to amaze me every time I listen to Get Behind Me Satan (by The Stripes).  It's not my favorite album of the group but the lyrics along with Jack White's voice carrying them gives 'storytelling' another defintion. With tracks like ' White Moon' and 'I'm Lonely, But I ain't that Lonely Yet', he takes (the willing) audience member to a place that he painted with unique tones. Although Mr. White accomplished alot with The Stripes, He's had success with other projects of his such as The Raconteurs. Watching his live performances of 'Blue Veins' showcases his ability to tweak that guitar's sound in a solo to tell a story that is so packed with emotion, words would only touch the surface. Example:

Beautiful. Speaking of the Raconteurs and storytelling, The next example is proof enough why Jack White is today's addition to the MPULGS. I strongly encourage treating yourself to this next performance. This song gave me goosebumps during the first listen (with the release of the Consolers of the Lonely). Without any further build up, 

All credit goes to the original artist(s). 

Until next time,
