GET BEHIND ME SATAN: How Religion Shaped The White Stripes’ Music
Before becoming a worldwide rock icon, Jack White almost became a priest. And nowhere is the parallels between rock and roll and religion more present than on The White Stripes’ 2005 album “Get Behind Me Satan.” This video documents the story of Jack White’s pivot away from priesthood, giving up the alb for an amp, and how he continues to weave his own parables of faith and morality into his music to this day.

Thought "Get Behind Me Satan" was lifted from the Billie Jo Spears tune.

Well done, yet you forgot about 'Old Scratch Blues', though. Old Scratch being a reference to Lucifer.

I used to live in a bedroom with only instruments and a bed because of something Jack White once said. Very cool dude.
