Jack White has admitted he hates the internet, saying he thinks it’s a “nuisance” which detracts from the “art of music”.
Speaking as one of Uncut‘s sister title NME‘s [url=http://www.nme.com/news/nme/50491]10 cover stars in a special edition of a the magazine this week (April 7)[/url], White said he thinks the web is music’s main enemy right now.
“In my head I’m still living and working as if there is no internet, and treat it as a nuisance,” he explained. “The internet is a beautiful tool for many, many things, but it is in direct opposition to the art of music being treated with respect.”
The interview also saw White speak about President Obama, Oasis and gives his opinion on what he thinks is the true underground music at the moment.
