Black Keys' Patrick Carney: 'Sad and Pathetic' Jack White Tried to Fight Me in a Bar
EntertainmentOne of the greatest — read: saddest — dudefights of our time is that between Jack White of the White Stripes and both of the Black Keys, three fully grown and very wealthy men who can’t stop scuffing dirt at each other on the playground while we all feel intense secondhand embarrassment. Patrick Carney, the Keys’ drummer, claimed on Twitter that White, a “bully,” tried to fight him in a bar Sunday night.
White has reportedly always loathed the Keys in their entirety, accusing them of musical theft and telling ex-wife Karen Elson in 2014 to pull their kids out of a class they shared with singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach’s daughter.
White hasn’t commented on this supposed confrontation. He has been known to do a little scrapping, getting in a well-publicized fight with the singer of the Von Bondies in 2004 and carrying on a healthy number of public feuds with all manner of folks.
A proud and very cool moment for everyone involved.
