Jack White is incredibly serious when it comes to his music, and even more serious when it comes to his guacamole and bananas.The much admired American musician made an appearance at University of Oklahoma this week and, after getting their hands on his contract for the evening, the student newspaper decided to let the world know all of White’s crazy demands and backstage needs before he gets out on stage.It turns out however, that White may be one of the easiest stars ever when it comes to demands, asking for little and even skipping out on alcohol all together, but stressing one thing above all – that his homemade guacamole recipe is made just how he likes it.That and that there be no bananas anywhere in the building.

The Oklahoma Daily seemed less interested in then guacamole than in White was being paid that evening though, writing; ‘White in the contract is guaranteed $80,000 versus the right to receive 90 percent of the amount earned from ticket sales, which have a net potential of a little over $147,000.’They did however attach the contract, which breaks down how White’s guacamole is made.It starts with 8 ‘large, ripe Haas avocados’ which are cut in chunks and combined with four ‘vine-ripened tomatoes’ diced, half of a chopped yellow onion, a bunch of chopped cilantro, four Serrano peppers that are both ‘de-veined and chopped’ and some salt and pepper to taste.This then gets gently mixed, so as not to mush up the avocados, and then covered with the avocado pits and the juice of half of a lime so the mixture does not brown.White suggests that it be made early, but not to early, and tossed in the refrigerator.The rider also states this is a ‘no banana tour,’ and then adds; ‘We don’t want to see bananas anywhere in the building.’ Jack White performs Would You Fight for My Love? on Ellen+3The White Stripes frontman (above with Meg White) was upset the college published his $80,000 feeSpeaking of White, he was none too happy to have his rider go public, and a member of his team let it be known in a letter on his website. It said: ‘The most important function of a rider is that it lays out optimal technical specifications to ensure the audience has the best experience possible. For that, Jack hires a team of very qualified touring professionals who write the rider and attempt to execute a professional and pleasant experience for all involved.’The letter the said; ‘Part of that is making sure that the tour personnel of about 30 people plus the local venue staff are fed. Contrary to what some believe, Jack doesn’t write the rider nor make demands about his favorite snacks that must be in his dressing room.’Most importantly however, this letter makes one thing clear above all else.‘We recommend you try Lalo’s guacamole recipe,’ says the author. ‘It’s delicious.’Read more: Jack White furious after University of Oklahoma students publish his rider | Daily Mail Online
