As a long-time fan of Jack Black and Tenacious D, I was deeply disappointed by the recent turn of events surrounding their tour cancellation and the controversy surrounding Kyle Gass’ comments about Donald Trump. I have fond memories of watching School of Rock and Kung Fu Panda, and Tenacious D’s music has always brought a smile to my face.
Supporters of Jack Black, renowned actor in “School of Rock” and “Kung Fu Panda,” are expressing disappointment after he cancelled Tenacious D tour following controversial remarks about the Donald Trump assassination attempt made by his bandmate Kyle Gass. Previously adored for his charm, Black now faces intense criticism from various quarters as people vented their disapproval on social media, condemning the initial statements and his response. Others have raised concerns over his actions since then.
During Tenacious D’s show in Australia on July 14, Gass made a comment while receiving a birthday cake on stage. When asked to make a wish, he jokingly said “Hope you don’t miss Trump next time,” which drew laughter from Black. However, following this incident, Black has announced that the tour will be canceled and any future collaborations between Tenacious D and him are currently suspended.
As a devoted fan, I’ve noticed some confusion and criticism on X/Twitter regarding Tenacious D’s recent response. This comes amidst past projects where Jack Black appeared to make light of political figures like Trump, yet draws the line when Kyle Gass makes a seemingly harmless comment. One fan put it this way, “It’s not cool, Jack, to throw Kyle under the bus for a joke about Trump. What a cop-out!” They continued, “You’ve got a song called ‘March,’ where you tackle Trump being in the KKK. But drawing the line at KG’s comment, ‘I hope they don’t miss next time,’ just feels weak.”
Some people have expressed disappointment and confusion over Jack Black’s recent actions towards Gass, whom he had been friends with for a long time. One person asked if Jack Black has undergone a noticeable decline in his abilities, while another suggested the possibility of the Streisand effect – a phenomenon where an attempt to hide or downplay something results in drawing more attention to it. In simpler terms, the second person wondered if Jack Black’s statement about the situation made it a bigger deal than it needed to be.
Is Jack Black Just Trying to Protect His ‘Bowser Money’?
I’ve noticed some people raising eyebrows about Black’s reaction, with fans speculating that perhaps I’m shifting blame onto Gass to safeguard my “Bowser earnings.” You know, the lucrative paychecks I get from voicing Bowser in “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” and its upcoming sequel for Nintendo.
In an unexpected turn of events, Black expressed shock over Gass’ remark, emphasizing that he firmly opposes hate speech and political violence. After careful consideration, Black decided to suspend the Tenacious D tour and put all future projects on hold. He expresses his appreciation for fans’ backing and comprehension. Gass has issued an apology as well, which you can find in the following text.
As a seasoned performer with years of experience under my belt, I can’t stress enough how important it is to exercise good judgment during live performances. Last Sunday night in Sydney, however, I sadly fell short of that mark. The line I spontaneously delivered onstage was inappropriate, dangerous, and a regrettable mistake. I wholeheartedly condemn any form of violence against anyone, and what transpired was nothing short of a tragedy.
