Right Stripes

I never was a huge fan of the White Stripes until now. You see, they are currently touring their new album in Canada and they just played for 600 people at Iqaluit yesterday. For those who don't know where Iqaluit is.... it's in the middle of fucking nowhere (capital of Nunavut). It is so far North, that city is closer to Greenland than it is to Ontario.

And this is what I mean by achieving pure happiness. They never tried to impress the cool kids, play at the "right" venues or fill a stadium. It was moms, dads, families, children of all ages attending the show. They no longer try to chase what is hip, simply because they ARE hip. The White Stripes were there because they wanted to see the city, while bringing music along with them. I don't care what you have to say about the duo, but their feast yesterday is something I true admire.
