Your Friendly Neighborhood Jack White Visits Potluck Dinner in Nashville

Rob Slater on October 7, 2015

Neighborhood potluck dinners are a great time to break out that new recipe, catch up on all the surely riveting neighborhood gossip and, in this case, hang out with rock stars. As you’ll see below, Jack White popped in on a neighborhood hang before heading off to check out Run the Jewels and the photo of these unsuspecting residents is priceless. There’s also a guacamole joke in here somewhere, but I’ll let you find it for yourself. 

The story is hilarious in itself, as White is portrayed as somewhat of a Jay Gatsby-type character in his neighborhood. Here’s the report from Nashville:

My mom helps host a neighborhood potluck in front of my childhood home. Our little dead-end street is populated primarily with elderly and quiet people. The houses are modest and suburban. My mom has been doing this potluck for over a decade. At the bottom of our street, there is a large gated historic home shrouded in trees. We’ve never really spotted that neighbor. But we have from time to time heard guitar coming from the garage. This year, without warning, the occupant decided to come mingle with the neighbors. Of course they had no idea who he was. “Jack White, nice to meet you.” He apologized for traveling so much and missing out over the years.

And of course, the photo to prove it.
