I was at this show and it wasn’t as big of a deal as the article makes it sound. Benson still played a decent amount of time. The pals and I weren’t anywhere near the front during his set, so we saw none of it. But in my book the fracas caused nary a ripple in the evening. Blanche played a fucking fabulous set – they’re the Handsome Family of Detroit, crossed with Lambchop. The night finally ended with a post-encore encore from a local jazz trio, who played “In the Mood” and the like for the club’s remaining rockers (including Meg and Marcie) to dance like our parents or Lawrence Welk to.

Uh oh – could this be the start of Jack’s tailspin? Will he start throwing drinks in people’s faces because he’s Jack White? Is he Russell Crowe?

Johnny, did you cut in on Meg?
I knew there was a reason we called you “Johnny on the Spot.”
I’d beat up a Von Bondie to get with Meg.
