Jack White Gives Surprise Lecture to Philosophical Society

October 19, 2009

Last night (10/18), Jack White gave a surprise lecture to Trinity College’s Philosophical Society in Dublin. He was awarded the honorary patronage from the society, which was founded in the 17th century.

White engaged in a highly philosophical discussion, where he talked candidly about his musical beliefs. And students asked him questions from his work with Dylan and Loretta Lynn, as well as his recent film ‘It Might Get Loud.’

He also revealed the existence of a hidden run of EPs, made with his former band The Upholsterers, back when White used to work in an upholstery shop in Detroit.

The records were recorded on clear vinyl, encased in a transparent covering and hidden in 100 pieces of furniture that he upholstered. “They could be records that will never be found, ever.”
