Jack White spoke very candidly on the subject of his former band the White Stripes in a recent interview with The New York Times Magazine. White even revealed that he wishes the duo he formed with Meg White was still going.
"I'd be in the White Stripes for the rest of my life," White began. "That band is the most challenging, important, fulfilling thing ever to happen to me. I wish it was still here. It's something I really, really miss."
White also made it clear that, while it was Meg who wanted to dissolve the project, White isn't totally clear on why.
"You'd have to ask her. I don't know what her reasons are. Having a conversation with Meg, you don't really get any answers. I'm lucky that girl ever got onstage, so I'll take what I can get."
So what was it like being in the band with someone like Meg?
"Meg completely controlled the White Stripes," White continued. "She's the most stubborn person I've ever met, and you don't even get to know the reasons."
