Jack White Writes Open Letter, Says Guacamole Recipe Was An ‘Inside Joke’

Jack White really wants everyone to stop talking about that guacamole incident.

The musician made headlines earlier this month when the University of Oklahoma’s school newspaper published his tour rider and contract before his performance at the university.

While tour riders usually include lists of odd demands, White’s got attention for a very specific guacamole recipe and other food requests. It was then reported that White’s booking agency blacklisted the university from future shows, but the musician apparently wasn’t involved in the decision, according to Pitchfork.

i know it’s a fun thing for people to try to turn me into a jerk and a diva, but in this case it’s pretty ridiculous and has almost nothing to do with me. my relationship with the fans at that show and how we got to a new place together through music remains intact and i’d love to do it again with them.

i think that’s everything, can i go back to making music now? no? ok. crochet it is.
