    "A human head, a shrunken head of an old childhood friend" could be some White Stripes lyrics.

      Angelia Serbinski I'm a hipster, but I ♥ Jack White. If he couldn't stand me based on me being a hipster tho, not my problem. That's linear thinking.
      EDIT: Besides, even after all these yrs, I'm still baffled on y he had such hatred4 hipsters? I understand y he doesn't like 📷 📱 being brought out2 his live shows. I completely grasp that. But what's up w the hipster thing?

Love Jack white. Thanks for making Monday great!
