I Am Forever Indebted to Jack White

Because he introduces me to bands like Love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSUoYHEJCGI

How am I only hearing this band now? Actually, the answer to that question is because I haven't been curious as to whether or not the White Stripes' version of "My Little Red Book" was a cover until now. It turns out the Stripes' version is a cover; in fact, their version is a cover of a cover: "My Little Red Book" was originally written by the classic song-writing team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David (performed by Bacharach), a favourite of both Jack's and Meg's. I guess it's even less surprising that the White Stripes covered "My Little Red Book."
