After the music ended there was a little interview. Conan and Jack had a such riveting chat I was unable to tear myself away from the TV set. After first discussing at length the fascinating fact that Jack's wispy beard was longer than it used to be they moved on to the revelation that the TWS entourage are all required to wear hats! Meanwhile, Meg sat curled up in a chair and said absolutely nothing. It may take me quite some time to get over what was indisputably the most stunning audio-visual television performance of 2005. I think I'll just round off this "hats off to The White Stripes" by quoting an extract of their lyrical tour-de-force "Forever For Her" from their recent masterpiece "Get Behind Me Satan" album. I blew it And if I knew what to do, then I'd do it But the point that I have, I'll get to it And forever for her is over for me Forever, just the word that she said that means never To be with another together And with the weight of a feather it tore into me Then I knew it All the work that it took to get through it On the wings of a feather that flew it Fell onto my shoe it cut up into me Heady stuff eh, pop kids? 298808@blogcritics.org Mon, 2 Jan 2006 06:12:25 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/02/011740.php#comment-298737 hey actully i had heard of the white stripes before but never actully listend to them but u said i hope they shy away from music and the didnt do very good and it turned people away i actully stated listinin to them when i saw them on john stewart 298737@blogcritics.org Mon, 2 Jan 2006 00:24:49 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/02/011740.php#comment-290971 To be honest I think that the version of the denial twist on the daily show was much better than the one found of the new CD. I like that raw feeling that came from the performance. Just my opinion though. 290971@blogcritics.org Sat, 17 Dec 2005 22:36:22 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/02/011740.php#comment-282028 Aww, c'mon now! He was better than that terribly bland guy they had on last night. It was a funny piece -- that detective, I dunno where they found him, but he was great -- but the "correspondent" was boring as hell. 282028@blogcritics.org Fri, 2 Dec 2005 10:06:40 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/02/011740.php#comment-281948 You lost me at Rocca. You said you wanted "really funny people". That disqualifies him. 281948@blogcritics.org Fri, 2 Dec 2005 03:58:29 EST
