Jack White took a break from The Raconteurs tour to perform at a rally in Detroit for Democratic Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.

On Sunday, White graced the halls of his old high school —Cass Technical High School— to perform a slew of songs before the rally kicked off. White opened up the set with Boarding House Reach corker ‘Corporation’ before heading into The White Stripes classics ‘Black Math’, ‘We’re Going to Be Friends’ and ‘Seven Nation Army.’

White also blessed the audience with a cover of Bob Dylan’s ‘License to Kill’, a song that he quipped reminded him of Donald Trump. Tweaking the lyrics to  “who’s gonna take away Trump’s license to kill?”. Check out his performance of the song below.

“I don’t associate myself with any particular party,” White shared of his allegiance to Sanders. “I just listen to the issues, who is lying to me, and who I can trust. Bernie Sanders is telling the truth and is someone I can trust.”

Earlier this month, Third Man Records unveiled a podcast dedicated to unpacking the history The White Stripes.
