There's a reason Jack White is so pale. When the other kids in his neighborhood were out drinking, selling drugs, and getting in knife fights (or whatever it is kids do in Detroit), young Jack was playing with his guitar and, yes, his dolls. It's all right here in the video for "Broken Boy Soldier", directed by Floria Sigismondi, in which Jack finally gets outside with the Raconteurs, who all look like they're in the same forest where Radiohead's "There There" video was shot. Meanwhile, the titular main character mends his broken body, but you know he's still a mess inside!
