Jack White, wearing a dark pinstriped suit and auburn scarecrow hair flowing under a derby hat, pleaded guilty to attacking Von Bondies singer Jason Stollsteimer at the Detroit club the Magic Stick last December. The White Stripes frontman was fined $500 plus court costs, and ordered to attend anger-management classes. Despite pleading guilty, White defended his actions. “This was a personal matter, not a press promotion,” he said.
“I regret allowing myself to be provoked to the point of getting into a fistfight, but I was raised to believe honor and integrity mean something and that those principles are worth defending.”
