Tracer is right in his original critique, and maybe I should rephrase... when I figure out what I meant ;-).. but I know I was thinking more of criticism and not the beliefs or intentions of the band, which really are very seperate... I mean, whatever we may think of the White Stripes' music, we can probably agree that there is a certain disconnect between the band and what they doa dn how they are received. the band, well, they put lots and lots of effort into cultivating an very specific image, and many seem to buy it as "authentic"... I think maybe this really revolves around the question of "does making a certain specific artistic choice automatically indict that or those which you did not chose?" What I mean to say is that making undanceable electronic music can either be intrinsically an anti-dance statement, or it could just be music with rhetoric added later, I guess. Does that make sense?

I mean, is art creation or filtration? Does it gain its power from what is made, or from what is left out?
