NASHVILLE—Musician Jack White reacted to Trump’s Iran attack this week, issuing a fervent call for global de-escalation via a custom-built guitar effects pedal. The rocker, known for his distinctive sound and cryptic pronouncements, demanded a literal “Board of Peace” to counter the rising tensions following “Operation Epic Fury.” White’s publicist confirmed the artist believes amplified frequencies can resolve international disputes.
The former White Stripes frontman took to social media, bypassing traditional diplomatic channels. He initially tweeted, “Don jr. and barron won’t have to fight or die, just other people’s children, so…invade and bomb away!” This was followed by a series of posts detailing specifications for a new stompbox. It would feature a “Disarmament Distortion” and a “Diplomacy Delay,” among other functions. He envisioned world leaders using it in a grand, harmonious jam session.
The Quest for Sonic Harmony
“Mr. White’s vision is singular,” stated Bartholomew ‘Barty’ Strummer, CEO of PedalPalooza, Inc., a custom pedal manufacturer now tasked with the project. “He believes a perfectly tuned fuzz tone can disarm a missile. We are working around the clock to meet his very specific, yet vaguely defined, requirements for this ‘Board of Peace’.” Strummer added that initial designs included a ‘Sanctions Phaser’ and a ‘Treaty Tremolo.’ For more on guitar pedals, see this Wikipedia entry.
White’s representatives confirmed he plans to personally deliver the finished pedal to the United Nations. He hopes to facilitate a global soundcheck. The musician reportedly spent hours designing the pedal’s housing. It must feature mother-of-pearl inlay and be capable of surviving a conventional landmine explosion. His fervent reaction to the Iran attack stemmed from deep-seated beliefs in the power of music.
Political Feedback Loop
“While most world leaders send envoys, Jack sends schematics for sonic weaponry,” observed Dr. Penelope Grooves, a geopolitical ethnomusicologist at the University of Fuzz. “His approach to the Iran attack is certainly unique. He genuinely believes that if everyone could just plug in and listen, harmony would prevail.” Grooves noted that similar efforts by other musicians had historically failed to prevent armed conflict. She remained cautiously optimistic about the ‘Board of Peace’s’ potential for sonic innovation, if not actual peace.
The artist’s security team has reportedly begun vetting potential jam partners. They are searching for heads of state with basic rhythm skills. His publicist confirmed White’s determination. He believes the power of rock and roll can avert further global catastrophes. He just needs the right pedal to do it. His continued reaction to the Iran attack has spurred much discussion online.
At press time, sources close to White indicated he was also seeking a custom amplifier capable of projecting a “Peaceful Protest Power Chord” across multiple continents.
