say it ain't so, meg and jack

I guess all good things must come to an end.

After being excited to hear that Meg and Jack White were heading into the studio to record the next White Stripes album, I was brought crashing down to Earth by news that the band is breaking up and will no longer record or perform live.

I've thought about what I should write in tribute but everything seems contrived or just a rehash of what others have already said. And I just can't have that, now can I?

So, to one of my favorite bands, thank you for revitalizing rock, for making amazing music, and for doing it with integrity and a sense of purpose. You will be sorely, sorely missed.
