The book will be discussed with City Lights events director and outreach coordinator Peter Maravelis. It includes lyrics from White&#8217;s solo recordings, work with The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather, plus photos and essays by Adrian Matejka, dream hampton and Ben Blackwell. White&#8217;s career began in the 1980s, when he played as an altar boy and later formed The White Stripes with Meg White. The band released six studio albums, including &#8220;White Blood Cells&#8221; and &#8220;Elephant,&#8221; before breaking up in 2011. White later moved into a solo career and also acted and produced, appearing as Elvis Presley in &#8220;Walk Hard: the Dewey Cox Story&#8221; and in Martin Scorsese&#8217;s &#8220;Killers of the Flower Moon.&#8221; He has won 12 Grammys and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Meg last year. White is also playing two San Francisco shows in support of &#8220;Frozen Charlotte,&#8221; with a stop at the Fillmore on Wednesday night and another at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium the next day. City Lights asked fans not to bring memorabilia, albums or other objects for signing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jack White is set for a rare appearance at City Lights Books in San Francisco, where he will&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":471908,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[185599,185600,113053,185027,101,103,102,104,106,105,185028,27678],"class_list":["post-471907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-adrian-matejka","tag-ben-blackwell","tag-jack-white","tag-meg-white","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news","tag-white-blood-cells","tag-white-stripes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471907"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471907\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/471908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
