We've heard this shit over and over in the ten years since Trump became a candidate. Violence is who we are, and it doesn't suddenly become inappropriate because Trump got a smidgen of his comeuppance.

I think people who have a media based existence have to be more mindful of this kind of thing, because, like it or not, appropriate or not, it can have very serious effects on their livelihoods.

We all suffer a bit of this at work. There are things we avoid saying to our coworkers, bosses, customers and clients, etc. What is and isn't okay to say changes based on the nature of our employment. I can't tell my boss he's a stupid sac of shit for mismanaging a product launch in spite of my recommendations. For Tenacious D, it very much can be shit like this.

Uhh, not touring as Tenacious D anymore means a lot less money for Jack Black.

If he's trying to save his movie career, it shows that he valued his career more than his friend.

Black isn't hurting for money, his net worth is reportedly $50 million, he's been in tons of shit lately, and Tenacious D has been touring off and on for over a decade. He's 54 years old, he could just retire entirely on this kind of money at that age.

Weak excuse.

Yah I agree it's a weak excuse and that Black probably has enough cash.

But I also imagine the reasoning behind this response is prolly something close to what I posted.
