"I Want Love to ...."

I Want Love to

Roll Me Over Slowly

Stick a Knife Inside Me

And Twist it All Around

I Want Love to

Grab my Fingers Gently

Slam Them in a Doorway

And Put my Face into the Ground

....

Bob Dylan said once that lyrically, every line in a song has to be as good as the first line. Rarely does a lyricist achieve this. On Blunderbuss, with his song Love Interruption, Jack White both meets and exceeds this standard. The music is even more of a revelation.

My faith in the next generation of iconoclastic musicians is strengthening.
