Actor, comedian and singer Black said today: “I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday. I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form. After much reflection, I no longer feel it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour, and all future creative plans are on hold. I am grateful to the fans for their support and understanding.”
Whatever the motivation behind those words it's the classy thing to do. And it set's a line of what is acceptable and unacceptable going forward.
And he didn't double down. Which makes him leaps and bounds better than most with TDS these days.
I'm gonna be the bigger man here (fat chance) and say good on Jack Black.
I’m going to guess that Black’s stance has less to do with his thoughts on political violence and far more to do with wanting to not get fired from the next mario movie. Hell he might even drop KG from the band and replace him with Chris Pratt, rebrand as the dixie cucks
But I agree that it’s good he’s not inflaming things further
I actually made a post, just before the site overloaded and shut down (so most probably missed it), where I predict this event indicates a massive shift in narrative and a coming sea change in the popular consciousness. This may be the moment that the pendulum reaches its apex and begins its backswing. I could easily see this as the beginning of the end of the woke/dei/esg madness (atleast the popular acceptance), landslide shift red in the house and senate along with trump. So I absolutely agree, the window is in the process of its biggest shift in decades.
see, even that is a huge sea change in hollywood, though. Jack Black likely will lose some jobs for apologizing, but if he thinks he'll lose his career if he *doesn't apologize is a massive cultural shift in and of itself.
Yeah. At least he is somewhat smart about it. Minimum 51% of usa supports trump. Makes zero sense to alienate and antagonize 51%. Nintendo and movie publishers probably not too happy to make more than half the potential customers angry.
Oh yeah I saw this after making my comment, so I deleted it. Although this is the first time I’ve seen him do something like this, it’s enough. Tenacious D is dead to me.
Channeling the spirit of his hero, Karl Marx, with that beard. That, or maybe a lifetime of drugs and alcohol have finally caught up to him and ravaged his once boyish face.
You'd have to admit, it would be fucking hilarious if all this was true, though: 1. Jack Black is a closet anti-leftist. 2. His crazy ass partner did blindside him with this stupid shit. 3. He's also an active member on kotakuinaction2.win
I don't know about that - they were getting 9000 to each gig which is about right for the venues they booked. I saw them back in the day and the crowd was about 10,000 then. Pick of Destiny Tour I think.

My last name is not Black.

That's still a better mentality than a lot in Hollywood, I'm not going to say inflammatory shit so I can get gigs.
See some people have actually lost their jobs already by praising the Trump assassination attempt so window has shifted a bit.

And here’s hoping we can treat the libtards in our lives as poorly as they treated us. If not worse.
There is no pendulum, only a ratchet.
Anything less than shipping fahgs and illegals overseas is not enough
That is ALL we ever want. Keep your insane politics to yourself, be an artist/actor/musician/etc first and foremost. I
loved Mark Hamill, even after the shit they did to him and some dumb takes but he just cannot help himself and keeps on pushing and pushing.

TikTok, I know… but it’s the only copy I could find easily. Jack Black at a Biden Harris event.
I'm not surprised he's a Democrat, but I never seen him say insane shit like Kathy Griffon did.
If his mantra is to simply shut the fuck up and stay out of it, that's better than over half of Hollywood.

LOL. Good stuff.

Truly the greatest timeline.
I wonder if the tour just wasn’t selling well and now it’s an excuse to bail out.
My dad loves Tenacious D and he didn’t know there was a tour
I don't know about that - they were getting 9000 to each gig which is about right for the venues they booked. I saw them back in the day and the crowd was about 10,000 then. Pick of Destiny Tour I think.
HHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMM........
