  Wow, you could not have picked a worse time for me to read this.  My beloved 'clones lost at the buzzer today to Ohio State in the big dance.  Ugh.  Super depressed now.

It's a little know fact that, 'Jack' loves to bake cakes after target practice where he regularly shoots 98.1% from the line. After that, he likes to check the stocks of cheese, as he can predict the price to within 0.1%. Then he retires to the studio to bang out some crackin' music.

Was only 1 week ago for me but agreed though a friend who had seen him before was not as impressed as I was

Can he bake a cake from scratch?
Can he shoot 98% from the line?
Can he predict the price of cheese in Iowa?
Can he make good music?

I think not
  
And he has put a great cd out in this one.

Musically terrific and I have to say that his vocals are just obnoxious enough work on this track. (Thankfully his vocal isn't overbearing to the point of destroying the music bed.)

Watched him play at Roskilde Festival last week. For me it was the highlight of the whole festival. So many spot on improvisations of his songs from White Stripes, Raconteurs and his solo album. Great concert.

One last thing...  the expression "that guy can do anything" was not meant literally.  At least I'd say it's a fair assumption.   Since you appear to be proficient in English, I think you should have been aware that it was simply an expression stating that White is very good at any musical task he attempts.  While you have every right to disagree, nagging about semantics is petty shows a distinct lack of maturity.  

Or do you think that when people say something is "tighter than a gnat's ass over a rain barrel" or "slower than a snail on a salt block" they are actually referring to a real gnat  or snail?  If that's the case, then you are either an idiot or need to google the word "metaphor."

I like how he sneaks in the chord sequence to "Steady as She Goes"—also the chord sequence to "All Along the Watchtower." OMG another brazen rock pretender ripoff!! Call the Thought Police!!
