Of course he is. Coke cans are red, white, and black; aren't they?

They said on the radio here today that for the current tour he's changing his name to "Three Quid"
Can some please elaborate as to why?

that kind of reminds me of how Alex Greenwald is now being referred to as Clark Schadelkopf.
all i do know is that Jack can get away with it…

Most likely because he refers to himself as The Third Man

Maybe to mock 50cent? That's my guess.

From Pitchforkmedia.com:

The White Stripes: "Walking With a Ghost"
genre: rock
Is it sexist to like the NBA over the WNBA because dudes can slam dunk? What about finding Juwanna Mann funnier than Eddie? The Whites' Tegan and Sara cover outshines the Canadian power-pop duo's flat, Stripes-minded original, with the gender-bending Jack sounding his most animated since Elephant. I wanna chalk up the cover's junk-to-gold transmutation to genderless qualities like the crunchier guitars or caveman drumming, but ultimately Jack's finely honed rock affectations seal the deal. Thanks to his searing Robert Plant cowls, trite and repetitive lyrics like "you're out of my mind" and "no matter which way you go" become improbable mantras akin to "wanna whole lotta love?". The whole gender-swap thing creeping you out? Too bad. In the words of character Puff Smokey Smoke, "Juwanna, you are one tall glass of water and I'm thirsty!" [Adam Moerder]

That sucks. (IMO) Sounds like a bad 60s Pop (no pun intended) song.
