Jack White's poem about his beloved Detroit

[Creative Commons licensed photo of Michigan Central Station (abandoned) in Detroit by Flickr user Matt Callow.]
Jack White of the White Stripes hurt some feelings back home when he moved from Detroit to Nashville in 2006. Egos were further bruised when he described the Detroit music scene as "super negative" in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine in June.

In order to set things straight, he wrote a poem about his beloved Detroit called 'Courageous Dream's Concern.' Click through to the Detroit Free Press for the poem.

Jack White and "new forms of music"? He's violently opposed to any kind of experimentation, progression or development of music - because he'd be out of his depth as soon as it got more complex than what you can play after two guitar lessons.

That emperor is about as nude as he can be, folks.

Also, he's pretty lame as a poet.

He basically compared the south, which is supportive to all music, to Detroit, which is harsher to new forms of music.
He likes the south better

That wasn´t necessary. He can do whatever he likes; it´s his life.
