I feel like this is referencing something I'm out of the loop on
https://variety.com/2024/music/news/jack-black-cancels-tenacious-d-tour-trump-assassination-kyle-gass-1236073486/
Jack Black canceled his tour after Kyle Gass made a joke about the Trump assassination attempt.
It was not the greatest joke in the world. No, it was just a tribute.
KG made a joke about Trump getting assassinated and Black totally stopped the tour and disowned him.
There may be more to this that we arent aware of like they agreed to not do controversial material ages ago and Kyle pitched the joke and Jack said "Dude fucking no, we dont want to touch this."
It might be more about creative differences than the actual joke is what I'm saying.
Never thought I’d see someone think they had to white knight Jack Black, but here we are
NGL I'm kind of hoping that Jack isnt a closet MAGA asshole. Ill take a benign capitalist motive over that.
Oh, I don’t think he’s MAGA, I think he’s just entirely too worried about his acting career and threw Kyle under the bus without a second thought. Kyle just said what occurred to him in the moment and rather than backing Kyle, Jack just turned weasel.
People can lie but he seems to support Biden.
He supports Biden, but not his best friend.
Goddamn it, JB. Just goddamn.
Man, imagine thinking your argument is so flimsy that you have to justify your argument with lazy "white knight" accusations.
