Jack White talks improv

Post by kbadr »

Well...not really. He's talking about unplanned elements in his live shows, but it's still an interesting quote.

"When the crowd notices something that wasn't planned, they notice that something unique happened tonight. And in an era of, 'Everything is pre-planned and, lip-synced, sampled, and computerized,' I think people really appreciate something that they know nobody else can experience, except people who were there that night."

Get Behind Me, Johnstone

Justin, this was your chance to equate K.J. with Satan in some pithy slander.

I like Johnstone. I don't want him to bang my ass like Kareem apparantly does, but I like him.

I just wanted him to have my back. Nothing more. Pervert.

Goddam it. Just looking back in nostalgia on the old days when people cared to FIGHT for their improv saviors.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'll kill a man and run away screaming "PUT THE HAT IN DANGER!"
