Ten months after her acute anxiety forced the White Stripes to cancel their 2007 autumn tour, Meg White made a surprise return to the stage this weekend during her a Raconteurs concert in Detroit. Meg White emerged after the encore break, accompanied by only Jack, and sat at the drum kit and banged on a couple of drums. "Hey everybody, this is Meg White," Jack announced as the crowd erupted. The duo didn't perform any songs, however, nor did Meg sit in for the encores, as she exited the stage while the remaining Raconteurs came back to play the final songs. Still, the reemergence of Meg White onstage gives Stripes fans hope the duo will once again reclaim the stage. Jack White has already admitted the former husband/wife team is at work on the seventh album.

“Time to Pretend”

MGMT | 2008

Listening to MGMT’s breakthrough song, one might interpret it as being about the excesses of rock stardom, but it’s actually about the duo’s pet praying mantis. Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden told Rolling Stone they got the idea from the insect's jerky movements. The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
