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

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.
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.
