Jack White claims that Britney Spears is "more authentic" than most rock stars
It might not appear that garage rocket Jack White and Britney Spears have much in common, but the White Stripes frontman has spoken out about his respect for the pop princess...
In between touring with new band Dead Weather, Jack White popped into Dublin's Trinity College to speak as a guest lecturer (one sure way to get students to class!), where, according to Contactmusic, he said:
"I don't know if Bob Dylan and Tom Waits are as authentic as I think they are. Perhaps they're not.
"Sometimes you start thinking that maybe Britney Spears or someone like that who's doing exactly what they want to do in the way that they best know how, is more authentic than any of those people you could mention."
Yep, you've got to give Britney credit for that. We'd love to see the pair of them team up for a duet now...
