  • Jack White: E-mails Reveal That White Stripes Guitarist Doesn't Like The Black Keys or Dan Auerbach Very Much

    It became widely known yesterday that guitarist Jack White had been served a restraining order by his former wife Karen Elson, who cited harassment on his part. White seems to dispute how out of line his ex-wife claims him to be, but new details have confirmed one thing: The story about White not wanting his children to attend a particular school just because one of his "rival's" children went there are totally true.
