Charley Crockett Clashes with Jack White Over Twin Temple Controversy

Charley Crockett has released a statement addressing the controversy surrounding Twin Temple, a doo-wop duo that was dropped from his tour. The situation began when Alexandra and Zachary James, the duo's members, claimed that they were dropped from the tour due to their Satanic imagery. However, Crockett has now stated that the real reason for their removal was their production requests, which he claims were not feasible.

Crockett's statement also targets Jack White, who invited Twin Temple to open for him after they were dropped from Crockett's tour. Crockett claims that White's actions were motivated by a desire to sell tickets, and that he lost a lot of respect for him as a result. He also accuses White of being hypocritical, stating that the White Stripes "purposely avoided political issues" during their time together.

The White Stripes did address issues like immigration on their 2007 album "Icky Thump" and made "Icky Trump" merchandise in 2016. They also spoke out against George W. Bush and the Iraq War in the 2000s and celebrated Barack Obama's election.

Crockett's statement also criticizes the media for not reporting the truth about the situation, and accuses some artists of using the controversy to gain attention and praise. He also claims that he has been speaking out against the machine his whole life, and that real patriots think for themselves.

Twin Temple recently announced their new album "Doomed Lovers", which is produced by Shooter Jennings. They will be performing a sold-out show with Jack White on September 29 at the Hollywood Palladium.
