They create, don’t need to fabricate.

Credit note: “The White Stripes” is a new poem by Mark Pirie, and is published here by permission of the author.
Tim says: Ever since I’ve known Mark – and that has been 15 years now – music has been a big part of his life, and that’s been reflected in his poetry. His impressive list of publications includes a number of books and broadsheets on or inspired by music and musicians, so I thought this triolet in honour of Meg and Jack White made a nice appetiser for my interview with Mark, which will run later this week.

Ah, takes me back to when I saw them at The Big Day Out a few years back.
I've never seen them live – but when I think of The White Stripes, I always think of this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLxtOk5ojlI
Excellent!
