The Black Keys didn't even become a remotely listenable band until Attack and Release. Brothers is ok, El Camino is better but in actuality, they're milking this whole "bad news girlfriend" theme..

I bet the fuckers who booed eventually became fans and nowadays tell people, "Yeah, I saw them back in the day. I was into them before anyone else."

Haha, how things have changed in Baltimore!

I've wondered what Jack White thinks of this tune becoming essentially THEE sports chant. The Baltimore Ravens fans chanted in unison, 70,000 chorus last year. The Miami Heat fans are notoriously obnoxious with it at home at the American Airlines Arena. Really though, I wonder if Jack is either flattered or pissed off. Kurt Cobain was practically mortified when he found out jocks loved Smells Like Teen Spirit.
