Comments on Jack White and TMZ to Rolling Stone magazine lyrics

Drummer Patrick Carney

"I actually feel embarassed for him. I don't hold grudges, man. I really don't. We've all said f*cked-up sh*t in private, and divorce is hard.

"I really think personal things are personal things. Like, TMZ? Honestly, they should be f*cking ashamed of themselves, that they make a living dragging poor souls that have nothing, that aren't famous, into this world. Everybody should be scrutinized? I don't believe that. I think that if you come off with a strong platform or moral agenda, then, yeah, maybe you should be scrutinized if there's a conflict there.
 Like, if you're a TV evangelist who's doing something awful.

"But you're a f*cking rock musician, you're a f*cking actor, you're a f*cking model or whatever. It's your job, you know what I mean? No one's doing anything illegal, it's just that people are living lives that get complicated.

"Those e-mails that Jack White wrote that got leaked, as f*cked up as that sh*t is, that was a private conversation, and it doesn't register to me. You know how horrifying it would be if all of our private sh*t was aired? And people go sniffing around looking for this sh*t. And ultimately it's no one's business."

Guitarist Dan Auerbach

"I don't know him, so it's extra-unexpected."
