The Black Keys Is Just

When I'm Writing With Just An Acoustic Guitar, It Can Be For Anyone.

That Culture, Of Looking At Catchy Music As A Negative Thing, Is Weird. It Has Nothing To Do With Me, Or The Music I Was Into Growing Up. The Stones And The Beatles Only Tried To Write Hits. Every Motown Song, Every Credence Clearwater Song - They Were Trying To Write Hits.

My Mum's Family Would All Get Together, With Guitars, Harmonica, Mandolins And Upright Bass And Play Old Blues And Folk Songs. That Was Normal To Me.

I Never Listen To Led Zeppelin. But, I Mean, I Don't Think Robert Plant Or Jimmy Page Listen To Led Zeppelin, Either. We All Probably Obsessed Over The Same Old Blues Records Growing Up.

Everybody Always Wants To Rebel Against Their Parents' Music, But Nobody Listened To Music Louder Than My Dad.
