♥♥♥ Meg White ♥♥♥
Описание: We Love Meg!
Birth name: Megan Martha White
Born: December 10, 1974
Origin: Detroit, Michigan, U.S.
Occupation: The White Stripes
Instrument: Drums, Vocals, Maracas, Tambourine, Timpani
White grew up in the Detroit area. Despite their own assertions to the contrary, White and fellow bandmate Jack White are not siblings. In the early 1990s, Meg White worked as a bartender at Memphis Smoke, a Detroit-area bar, where she first met Jack White. They were married on September 21, 1996. In his characteristically unorthodox fashion, he took her last name.
Jack White spent much of the 1990s (and the early part of their marriage) hopping from band to band, but it was in 1997 that Meg first took her hand at the drums. In Jack's words, "When she started to play drums with me, just on a lark, it felt liberating and refreshing. There was something in it that opened me up." The young couple then became a band, and the newly christened White Stripes soon played their first gig at the Gold Dollar in Detroit. In keeping live performances to three basic elements, Jack did the guitar and vocal work while she played drums. They divorced in 2000 (before becoming nationally famous) but the band survived.
Though Jack White (the duo's guitarist and songwriter) usually sings the lead vocals, Meg White sings lead on "In the Cold, Cold Night", a song from the band's fourth album, Elephant, "Passive Manipulation", from the band's fifth album, Get Behind Me Satan, and on "St Andrew (This Battle is in the Air)" from its sixth album Icky Thump. Her minimalist drumming style has drawn so much debate about her ability. For his part, Jack White has declared her to be the key component in the White Stripes' sound. In reference to her "primal" approach to drumming, she remarked, "That is my strength. A lot of drummers would feel weird about being that simplistic."
Fulfilling a longtime dream, Jack and Meg White guest starred on the long-running animated TV series The Simpsons in an episode titled "Jazzy and the Pussycats", which first aired on September 17, 2006. She has done some modeling for Marc Jacobs' 2006 Spring line. Two of her pictures appeared in the March 2006 issue of ELLE.
Meg White was chosen by Comedian/Director Bob Odenkirk to compose a drum theme for one of his characters in the film Let's Go to Prison, which was released in November 2006.
She is, by her own admission, "very shy" and gives few interviews. When the band is interviewed, she will often contribute little or nothing, while Jack White will do most of the talking. In her time away from the band Meg enjoys photography and amateur taxidermy. Animals are also something of a motif in her photography (mainly album covers and music videos). Among those photographed with her are a snake, rats (the video for Hotel Yorba and the back cover of Elephant), a cow, rabbits, and raccoons (the 7 inch cover of the Denial Twist single). She guards her privacy in a manner that she identifies with Bob Dylan, whom she admires.
