Dear friend
If you want to feel better
Don't let the devil make you toss this letter
If you've been crossed up by hoodoo voodoo
The wizard or the lizard
You got family trouble? Man trouble? Woman trouble?
No light through the rubble?
You're looking for a true friend or a true lover
Or if you've been living undercover
I'm coming to your town to break it all down
And help you with all of this
I'm looking to help you find bliss
One day, one way, can't miss
I'm here to tear all the walls down
Doesn't matter if it's a large town or a small town
Just like Joshua and the fabled walls of Jericho
I'm here to tear down the institution
God spoke to me
Said, "Listen to me I anoint you with the power
That'll get 'em all moving!"
You're agitated? You prayed and meditated?
You're concentrated on getting elevated?
By sundown, Monday
You who come will be blessed with the big money blessing
You will be doubted by all the unbelievers
On all the things I'm addressing
But you must tell seven friends
You must first bring seven friends
And don't be selfish and keep this all to yourself
(And don't eat shellfish!)
Hate is trying to take someone else's love for yourself
But I'm here to tell you that love is
Trying to help someone else
I realize that you have tried and tried and are just about ready to give up
But I got good news for you:
God has spoken to my mind and told me to tell you
To get moving in the right direction for a change
I'm gonna put you in the fast lane!
You need to see me right away so I can fix this!
You need to see me right away!
You need to see me right away so I can fix this!
You need to see me right about now!
God of seven
Open up the windows of heaven
And pour out a rich and mighty blessing
Not on his town, or her town, but your town!
Are you ready for the message?
I have a special financial blessing that once I have placed in your hand
Then I want you to begin using this blessing on the very first day that you can
And if you are suffering a strange sickness
And someone is blocking up all of your success
You need to see me right away so I can fix this!
Signed sincerely
Yours in faith, love and peace
Your friend
Archbishop Harold Holmes

To me a chaotic sound with strange lyrics: and not in a nice way.
Reminds me of Talking Heads. Crazy !
Whole Lotta Love

Always a fan of the White Stripes. However on his solos he takes it to another level. Witty lyrics. And the older he gets, intense riffs and fast melodies. Killer new stuff, and not surprised.

Some hear Eminem, I'm also getting a little Ted Nugent in those guitar licks. Jack has the Detroit rock & roll vibe going on this one.

Wishing that I could really crank this in the office, right now. Instead, it goes from a 6 ->7 for the energy boosting rock fest that it is. 
HECK YEAH 😎 🎸 !
This is really a kooky song, and I like it!
Not getting an Eminem vibe, I hear...
Are you ready Steve? Uh-huh
Andy? Yeah
Mick? Okay
Alright fellas, let's go!
.......it's, it's a Ballroom Blitz!!

BALLROOM BLITZ!
Makes me want to throw my hands in the air and give all my money and put my faith in Archbishop Harold James! Preach Jack! Hehehehe...
The Beastie Boys ăss fųcked Eminem. This tune IS the proof!
was trying to feed my cat at 5am when I just started moving sporadically about for this 4min tune. I thought of it as a dance, cat may have thought seizure and freaked out. Got him fed about 10 minutes later. Damn good tune to start my morning with. Thanks RP
Jack White is a God. Everything he touches turns to gold. 
I've never been a huge Jack White fan which isn't to say that I don't respect him as a musician. This cooks though!
Wow! Thanks William

Bill's warning prepared me to hate this. But how can you not like a tune that rhymes selfish with the Lord's prohibition for shellfish.

I like this.
