    I met Jack last week, he played a small gig in New Zealand and I ended up waiting about an hour and a half after the show by the exit door. There was a group of about 30 of us waiting, they parked his van up right to the doors so he could quickly leave the door and get straight into the van. When he came out, he instead came out to us, shook all of our hands, thanked us for waiting in the cold, and asked if he sounded okay on stage. For someone that could be a complete asshole because of his large amounts of success, he was so humble and it was a pleasure to meet him.

      So this dude, he's such a great guy! Check it out. This guy was holding a party that was like 50 dollars to get in on top of anything you might buy there, though you could pay more to get closer to him so you could really see him. The idea is he'd be the center of attention while entertaining us. So like we were all really wanting to tell him how much we loved him after the party was over and guess what! He didn't spit on us or tell us to get lost! If only everybody was like him right.

      If a flattering, knowledgeable person strikes up a conversation when you're just killing time, it's a good thing, and you converse like gentlepersons. If some rude stiff comes up and acts like he deserves a prize for recognizing you, you blow 'em off. People that aren't jerks are just folks, most of the time, as long as they're not already doing something that cannot, by definition, include you.

      I finished doing what I was doing, and went and beat the crap out of that kid wearing only my Arena (think Speedo) swim trunks in an academic building that happened to have a pool in front of dozens of college students.
      My coach was supremely pissed at me because we were guests in that building, and I said to him “Would you let another person spit on you while you were taking a shit?”

      The White Stripes and the Von Bondies and Jay Reatard all got started at the tail end of the 90s garage punk scene, but most of those bands were breaking up and when the White Stripes got big, they had a whole new audience and by default became the beginning of a big new thing. The Black Keys probably wouldn't have gotten as big a push if the White Stripes hadn't had hits but neither band sounds alike or much like anyone else. None of the things they have in common are things that the Flat Duo Jets, Oblivians or Jon Spencer Blues Explosion hadn't done before them. I suspect the real story is a combination of something personal and Jack White not liking interviews.

      White Stripes were OK but the Black Keys nailed it and certainly felt more authentic than White, whose music always came across as very calculated rather than heartfelt, which I always get from Dan.

    2:27 I think Jack probably lied. He says his hand was cut because the other guy landed on his hand that happened to have broken glass under it…

      No, it was real. I saw a couple old pics of his surgery....was pretty nasty. It almost ruined his career as a guitarist.

    Here's an absolutely true tale: I was working at a pizza joint in Minneapolis in 2017 and 18 I can't remember exactly when it happened but one night we got a last minute huge order from Jack whites tour people for a bunch of sandwiches pizza and desserts as he was playing a show in town that night and presumably had to feed the troops...now I don't want to exaggerate it wasn't an immense order but it came to around three hundred and fifty bucks worth of hipster vegan pizza pasta sandwiches etc. We were already quite busy that night but were told to prioritize the order before everything else as they had to have it immediately and we complied. When the flunky turned up to pick up the food we received absolutely no tip. Nothing. Not even a gratuity for the overworked and very beautiful and kind hostess. How about them apples

      you can't really know that's on Jack White, maybe he's that cheap or maybe he gave the flunkie tip money and the flunkie just pocketed it there is just no way for you to know.

    "Original". Jack White, to quote Inigo Montoya-"I don't think that means what you think it means." Unless original means ripping off Joe Jackson's "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" for the intro of "Steady As She Goes" Jack White is the Tarantino of music. Derivative and bland but somehow critically praised and his own biggest fan.

    I'm a huge fan of Jack White's, from the White Stripes to Van Lear Rose (Lorreta Lynn's big comeback from early 2000s) and The Raconteurs, etc. Anyone that diversly talented is going to have some kind of issues. It's par for the course. Hell, I have major issues, and I'm not that talented or famous!

    Meg not singing his praises, no high fives, or kissing his ass was probably the only thing keeping him grounded, and probably why they lasted as long as they did.

    I saw Jack at a grocery store in Los Angeles last year. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
    The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
    When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
