Jack Black cancels Tenacious D tour and places future projects on hold after Kyle Gass comments on Trump

Jack Black announced on Instagram that he’s cancelled the rest of the Tenacious D world tour and placed future projects on hiatus.

This happened after his bandmate Kyle Gass sparked controversy by commenting on the recent Donald Trump assassination attempt.

At their recent Sydney show, Kyle Gass was given a birthday cake and asked to make a wish for his 64th birthday, to which he said “Don’t miss Trump next time.”

In his later statement, Black said he was “blindsided” by his bandmate’s comment and condemned any calls for political violence.

Jack is a Coward. I stand with Kyle. Remember, whenever someone calls for violence, that the head of project 25 said "We are in the midst of a second American revolution., which will remain bloodless, should the left choose it to be."

Don’t think for a second Trump is against it.

I saw his show last year, and the energy he puts into them is incredible. Dude has more energy than most people half his age.

The answer is drugs

Edit: do you guys actually think people dont take any drugs for these massive stage performances?

ShinkanTrain ,

Then let’s go with the alternative: Man overreacts and acts self righteous over a joke. Cancels other people’s plans.

Here’s what really happened: A man with an actual moral compass decides work life balance and his relationship with his long time friend and business partner is more important than money, and has decided to take the time to figure things out between them.

ShinkanTrain ,

If your actual moral compass tells you the real problem is not coddling fascists when they get what’s due to them, it’s pointing in the wrong direction.

Jack black is a better human than me, I won’t argue that point.

This is why I blocked lemmy.ml, along with hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml - too bad those user blocks are so ineffective and still show every comment from every user from there.

Blocking the instance is not blocking the users of that instance. Confusing, but it’s separate functionality. Instance blocking blocks all posts from the instance showing up in your feeds. Doesn’t block comments or users, you still have to do that individually.

Probably should be renamed as an option, because logically you would think it would block everything from that instance, not just posts/communities.

Right, you basically cannot block all comments from those instances. Though it does prevent notifications if they reply to you. The only way to avoid wasting your time with them is to block each and every single person that comes along, including every single new one. Which also does nothing to stop them from downvoting you. In short, unless an entire instance defederates from them and you join it - which none of the well-known instances do, and it is not entirely so trivial to spin up your own - there is nothing that an individual user can do about the situation, atm.

And sometimes I even have enjoyable conversations with people on those instances - still, those are in the extreme minority (fewer than 1/1000) and I would choose to sacrifice that to have the option to walk away entirely, if I could. Especially since I could always have an alt account elsewhere to get the best of both worlds. As they also do in turn (several have openly admitted this), to get around the instance defederations.

I’d have a lot of energy too if i’d make millions of dollars to sing mediocre songs.

My heart dropped at the headline. I was like fuck, here comes some conservative BS.

Nah man, he’s an idiot. Can’t believe he said that.

Everybody knows if you say your wish out loud it doesn’t come true!

That’s not very rock and roll, Jack.

What a fucking cowardly statement.

Anticorp ,

Jack Black looks weirder every time I see him.

zaph ,

I never thought I’d say this but fuck jack black.

Don’t you see? He’s the man! Let me hear you applaud! He is more than a man, he’s a shiny golden god! …

He. Is going. To kick your fucking ass! And! You know, his name is Kyle Gass! Rocking and fucking rolling and fucking rocking and fucking rolling and fucking (Jack Black scatting noises)

Jables didn’t call him Rage Cage for nothing. Sounds like an ep of the TV show tbh.

That sucks, I hadn’t had the chance to see them before, but I got tickets for a show they’re having near me in a few months. I guess I need to see what getting a refund looks like.
