Charley Crockett and Jack White are in a public dispute. The issue started when Crockett dropped the band Twin Temple from his tour, citing their Satanic imagery. Crockett said he lost respect for White after White recruited Twin Temple to open for his shows in LA.
Crockett claimed that White used to avoid political issues but now used the Twin Temple situation to "sell tickets".
