Nr. 47 – Alison Mosshart

Alison Mosshart is the female half of American band The Kills and since 2009 she’s also a part of the all-star band Dead Weather together with Jack White (of The White Stripes and The Raconteurs), Dean Fertita (of the Queens of the Stone Age) and Jack Lawrence (of The Raconteurs and The Greenhorns). She’s one of those artists I couldn’t decide if I thought she was cool for just being cool or for being a part of cool bands. So I took a decision – She is cool for being cool. She makes cool music, plays in cool bands and she’s just…cool.
(The overuse of the word “cool” and particularly using the phrase “plays in cool bands” reminds me of my dilemma with the word cool – if something is said to be cool it sort of stops being cool. But anyway, I’m going to ignore that and just say she’s cool anyway. ‘Cause she is. Cool.)
