Another Way To Die

My second letter read out on Kermode and Mayo’s Film Reviews, BBC Radio 5 Live:

Dear Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd,

Could someone please explain to me EXACTLY what is wrong with the Question of Sport theme tune; Another Way to Die?

For me it was the highlight of the entire film. The Hendrix of our generation Jack White has successfully written and produced the first ever memorable blues rock Bond song. His innovative collaboration with the very sexy and talented Alicia Keys has gelled together three genres of music and is far more listenable than Chris Cornell's generic You Know My Name. Also let's face it, Amy Winehouse couldn't have done any better.

I have been listening to the song on repeat all day whilst doing my dissertation as it is nothing other than an awe inspiring and ruddy good tune!

Perhaps Mr. Mayo would be more suited to answering my question as his musical knowledge is not limited to the boundaries of skiffle, which would certainly not be suitable as a Bond song!
