After introducing the White Stripes as "the Adam and Eve of the 21st century, who started a rock and roll band," Iggy Pop passed the microphone to Jack White, who noted that his "sister" Meg White had added "punctuations and corrections" to his speech.He supported, it means a lot to him tonight," he said.

"I want to say to young artists, get your hands dirty, throw away your screens, go out in your garage or your little room and get excited. Get excited about something, get excited. We all want to share what you can create," continued White.why it happens, but when it does, it's the most beautiful thing you can have as an artist or a musician, when people respond to you and share with you."
