Refugee 7 Report post Posted December 23, 2008 White Stripes frontman Jack White loves attending rock concerts - because it is just like going to church. The singer believes experiencing a live show in front of a captive audience is similar to religious worship. He says, "The thing I love about live performance the most is that the doors are closed, the lights are turned down, and the audience has to be reverential to what's happening onstage. "It's not like being at home where you can change channels, fast forward, turn it off, put the book down, or walk away. It's this phenomenon where we all, as a community, go to church and sit and experience this thing together." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Merritt 8 Report post Posted December 24, 2008 No. I hate church. I love concerts. One has a bunch of people who believe in a fictional being. The other has a bunch of people who love music. They are nothing alike. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magnolia 171 Report post Posted December 24, 2008 "They love it like you love Jesus, it does the same thing to their soul". Well, I love Jack (And TPATH!) more than religion. :spin2: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
