Re: Worst Jack White Experience

He looked down at us at Bonnaroo and thanked us for doing our normal jobs. He was walking on the front of the stage and staring at us a lot too. I felt like he really appreciated our presence that night. There were a lot of stressful seeming moments onstage but he seemed sincere when he said those things.
I don't know about that guy backstage but it's possible Jack knew he wasn't supposed to be there. It's possible he limited backstage access specifically not to be hassled. If I were a guy who bought a backstage pass off an employee of Jack's I wouldn't press my luck by asking for an autograph like that. For all he knew the guy was gonna hawk it on eBay or something. He carries around stuff like Denial Twist 3"s and custom baseball cards for people too. And from what I hear people tend to get those when they see him and say, "great set, man," as opposed to asking him for something. That doesn't sound like an asshole to me, but of course we all have our moments.
