No Rock And Roll Fun

FATHER JACK: We nearly lost The White Stripes to God, or so Jack White has told 60 Minutes, claiming it was an amp that saved him from the Jesus:

"I'd got accepted to the seminary in Wisconsin, and I was going to become a priest, but at the last second I thought, 'I'll just go to public school,' " White tells Wallace.

"I had just gotten a new amplifier in my bedroom, and I didn't think I was allowed to take it with me."

Of course, we suspect that the discovery that he'd be expected to turn the other cheek a lot also put him off the idea.
