Objection to Super Bowl ad

In February 2010, a Super Bowl ad by the US Air Force Reserve caused the White Stripes to “take strong insult and objection to the Air Force Reserve presenting this advertisement with the implication that we licensed one of our songs to encourage recruitment during a war that we do not support.” In November 2010, the White Stripes contributed a previously released cover version of the song “Rated X” to the compilation album Coal Miner’s Daughter: A Tribute To Loretta Lynn . In late 2010, the White Stripes reissued their first three albums on Third Man Records on a 180-gram vinyl along with 500 limited-edition, “split-colored” records to accompany it. Jack hinted at a possible White Stripes reunion in a 2010 interview with Vanity Fair . He said, “We thought we’d do a lot of things that we’d never done: a full tour of Canada, a documentary, coffee-table book, live album, a boxed set … Now that we’ve gotten a lot of that out of our system, Meg and I can get back in the studio and start fresh.”
