"I spoke with Meg White the other day; she said she's very sorry she couldn't make it tonight, but she's very grateful for the folks who have supported her throughout all the years, it really means a lot to her tonight,"
"To young artists, I want to say, get your hands dirty and drop the screens and get out in your garage or your little room and get obsessed. Get obsessed with something, get passionate. We all want to share in what you might create,"
"I myself have been in a lot of bands that you've probably never heard of. But for some reason, people especially connected with this one two-piece duo project that I was in called the White Stripes. We don't know why these things happen, but when they do, it's the most beautiful thing you can have as an artist or musician when people are responding and sharing with you."
In Cleveland, Ohio, the White Stripes were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during the annual ceremony. Iggy Pop introduced the duo as "a 21st century Adam and Eve, who had started a rock & roll band." Jack White accepted the honor on behalf of the duo and explained that Meg White was unable to attend but expressed gratitude for longtime supporters. Olivia Rodrigo, Feist, and Twenty One Pilots performed a medley of White Stripes classics as a tribute. Jack White urged young artists to get hands-on, drop screens, get obsessed, and thanked numerous musical influences.
