(he has said that 'effect & cause' is about a woman he was in love with a few years ago, someone nobody knows about... which begs the question... the line about the baby and her pregnant ma? wasn't there some cancelled blanche shows due to some mysterious medical issue with tracee shortly after all this went down?) ok, so that's total speculation, as i suppose it all is really. but anyway, c'mon... something happened there. i adore jack, but i know he's not completely innocent. he does seem like a pretty decent guy though. just a guy who's made some mistakes. i really like his poem, and i think it was written with well-meaning intentions.

Jack moving was typical and predictable-it's rare that any celebrity stay in their hometown, though he gave it a fair chance. If anyone alienated someone, it was the crowd that surrounded him, who for so long supported his eccentricities and got handpicked for choice support slots around the country, Europe, etc. without so much as a "thank you" (again, typical detroit mentality), and didn't call any of it out till now. There was talk that Detroit would be the next Seattle, every band poised to create a production line of music for this revived back-to-basics approach. Thing is, it didn't happen, there was not even a Next Big Thing(too bad Jason Stoollayer, even you can't save it). The record companies sniffed around for sure, but there wasn't enough to even sell for scrap. All that came of it was Small-time deals with lackluster support, the old scene now withers away and still can't grasp what happened, and regurgitates itself, like now. you could say that the only real "next Big Thing" that ever came out of Detoilet was actually the Raconteurs.(Keeler and Lawerence were adopted Detroiters, remember, until now of course). I can only hope this is the last thing he ever has to say about this place. “lala” seems to be the typical representation of the resentment that comes out of any scene when someone makes it big.
