So it's a few years ago, and you're at a festival where the White Stripes are playing. Awesome. Don't want to miss that.
So you stand and wait for the stage to be set up. You drink a beer. You watch the instruments get tuned up. You drink another beer. How long until Jack and Meg are on? Must be about ten minutes. Fuck it, you really need a piss, and you'll be back just as the band are through their first song. No big deal.

This was Jack White's attempt to break the world record for Shortest Concert Ever - one note, to be exact. And that's really all they played. Fun to watch, but MAN I'd have been pissed off if I'd waited to see that.
