The Rhapsody Q&A delves into the birth of the Raconteurs -- basically a bunch of friends from the Midwest including White Stripes' leader Jack White, songwriter/producer Brendan Benson and the rhythm section from the Greenhornes. Topics discussed? The "controlled accident" that became the debut single, "Steady As She Goes," making pancakes and how a side-project is like a school science experiment that explodes all over the dining room carpeting.
