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.
Maybe. It seems like a bit of an overreaction to me, and I really don’t like the idea that we can’t say mean things about their god emperor because they’ll get mad and be violent. Has Muslim and Mohammed vibes.
I don’t like it either. But that’s stocastic terrorism for you. It’s anti-populist and anti-liberty by design.
Only solution is to police the fascists until they’re more scared of you than you are of them. And that doesn’t work if the cops are on the fascists’ side.
No shortage of Christian terrorism. Just ask any abortion clinic nurse.
