If you didn't catch Jack White on the Wednesday night edition of "60 minutes" (actually the segment was about Loretta Lynn) you missed the White Stripes rocker admit to Dan Rather that he was, like, THIS CLOSE to becoming a priest.

Quoth he: "I had got accepted to the seminary in Wisconsin. I was going to become a priest, but at the last second I thought I'd just go to public school. I had just got a new amplifier in my bedroom and I didn't think I was allowed to take it with me."
Jack, who was voted one of the top 20 guitarists of all time by Rolling Stone magazine, also told Rather how how thrilled he was to work with country superstar Loretta Lynn. "I think that Loretta is the greatest female singer-songwriter of the 20th century," he said. She sang on the Stripes disc White Blood Cells, and Jack produced and played on her Grammy-nominated album Van Lear Rose. Hopefully, they'll sing together on the upcoming Grammys.
