He is why I play music. The bully assholes who made me feel like nothing. Music was a private non competitive thing.

Not sure what he's unhappy with cuz I just liked Zeppelin a lot and wanted to play guitar. Cut my pinky off and ended up being a drummer

Not the best drummer but a passionate one. But any way jack white. A 40 year old bully tried to fight the 35 year old nerd.

UPDATE: Jack White has issued a response.
In a statement to Entertainment Weekly, White commented on the situation. "Nobody tried to fight you, Patrick. Nobody touched you or 'bullied' you," he said. "You were asked a question you couldn't answer so you walked away. So quit whining to the Internet and speak face to face like a human being. End of story."
UPDATE 2: Patrick Carney has now tweeted a response to Jack's response.
