I think I just realized the meaning of the name of the Stripes' newest album, Get Behind Me Satan. As any lover of the blues knows, Robert Johnson made a deal with the devil at the crossroads at midnight to get the guitar skill he shows off in his few recorded tracks. Perhps Get Behind Me Satan is Jack White saying that it's time to move on from guitar rock/blues, and try some more ecletic influences. It certainly works. My love for the album has continued to grow. I want to go home and listen!
