Tenacious D is on the road, and they played Sydney, Australia, on Sunday, which happens to be Kyle Gass’ birthday. So Jack Black brought out a cake and got the audience to sing Happy Birthday to his friend.
When they were done, Black asked Glass to make a wish. His wish was, “Don’t miss Trump next time.”
Needless to say, that comment on the public stage did not go over well. So today, Black made an announcement, “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,” he wrote. “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.”
This is the difference between Democrats and Republicans. The former takes responsibility for the mistakes.
UPDATE: Kyle Gass released his own statement: “The line I improvised onstage Sunday night in Sydney was highly inappropriate, dangerous and a terrible mistake. I don’t condone violence of any kind, in any form, against anyone. What happened was a tragedy, and I’m incredibly sorry for my severe lack of judgement. I profoundly apologize to those I’ve let down and truly regret any pain I’ve caused.”
