Summary : Fresh Air, the White Stripes and Brian Cox, June 22, 2007 (Nonfiction)

Hear guitarist and vocalist Jack White and drummer Meg White of the band the White Stripes, film critic David Edelstein, and actor Brian Cox, on this edition of Fresh Air.
The White Stripes' new album is called Icky Thump. It is their sixth release. The duo has tried to keep its relationship a mystery, claiming to be, variously, brother and sister or husband and wife. The truth, confirmed by numerous sources, is that they are a divorced couple. One reviewer writes, "The White Stripes are grounded in punk and blues, but the undercurrent to all of their work has been?striving for simplicity, a love of American folk music, and a careful approach to intriguing, emotional and evocative lyrics." (Original Airdate: 6/9/05)
