Jack White’s ode to Detroit: He aims to mend fences with his poetic vision of his hometown
Jack White sold his house in Indian Village and moved to Nashville.
Upon his move he lambasted the Detroit music scene in the media. But
a poem and letter he sent to the Detroit Free Press aims to clear up what he said and show that he still holds the city close.
