Too bad there's no video of that performance, at least not on YouTube. Pretty sure it was a total surprise and nobody knew Bob would be there. The White Stripes did an amazing cover of "One More Cup of Coffee" which I've always loved.
I remember reading an article once where Jack White casually mentioned how he'd been hanging out with Bob Dylan in Jack's private bowling alley at his house where he keeps a special bowling ball just for Bob...
And I thought, "Whoa, wait, what? Are you sure that happened, man?" Lol.
Because Bob doesn't just casually hang out and form friendships with people (at least famous people, other musicians, etc.) as a general rule.
Apparently it's true though...
Bob's mentioned Jack several times, dating back to the Theme Time Radio Hour days in the early 2000s, and recently in some Q&A interviews he's done.
I think Bob's interest in Jack probably started off as an attempt at mentoring. Bob is known for taking a seemingly random shining to certain characters, and he helps them out if he feels like they need it.
I'm sure Bob recognized Jack's immense, undeniable talent and legendary status in the making and felt like he could use some top level guidance.
Jack White's politics are sheer disease, but aside from that, there's nothing unlikable about him that I've ever noticed. As you probably know, I'm a fan.
