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.

My last name is not 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

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.

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.
