Jack's like King Midas as I was told, Everything that he touched turned to gold

Jack White. Since rising like a phoenix from the ashes of a dying Detroit garage scene, White has become a defining figure in modern music. Not only has he stayed true to his garage roots by recording some of the finest albums from the dawn of the new Millennium, but White has worked with artists from Lorretta Lynn to now Alicia Keys. This brings me to the point of my post on the man. White. Jack White. As hopefully some of you out there know, White has recorded the title track for the new Bond flick, Quantum of Solace, starring buff and blond superman Daniel Craig. While the film hopes to live up to Craig's debut as Bond in 2006's Casino Royale, White's track, entitled "Another Way To Die" and featuring Ms. Keys, has little competition from Royale's title track. Some of you may remember Chris Cornell's foray in Bond-land with "You Know My Name," but "Another Way To Die" already outshines it even though it was only released as an instrument for a Coke commercial so far. I eagerly wait for October 28, when the full song will be released. I can only hope its as tasty as new Coke Zero Zero Seven.
