A day after a lone shooter attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania campaign rally, Jack Black sang “Happy Birthday” to his bandmate, Kyle Gass, at the duo’s concert in Australia. The two make up the band Tenacious D.

Black told Gass to “make a wish,” and Gass said, “Don’t miss Trump next time.”

I’m not sure you can fault Jack Black for this, it was the other guy that made the statement.

The Dixie Chicks filled stadiums and large arena until Natalie Maines mouthed off. Afterwards they were lucky to get State Fair gigs. The other two “Chicks” suffered right along with Maines.

I’m pretty sure Jack Black is Canadian, but I could be wrong.

Hopefully Jack keeps that in mind, but I doubt it.

I honestly had never heard of this guy before.

He played Carl Denham in Peter Jackson's 2005 King Kong. And a lot of other roles I have little interest in.

I liked Jackson’s re-make, except for the ridiculous running-with-the-brontos scenes. Better would have been to have the deleted scenes with the sea serpent that were cut from the standard offering.

You think Jack was randomly asking that question in a way that wasn’t pre-planned?

I don’t watch many hollyweird productions any more either, and I definitely don’t watch ANY of the new stuff coming out. There are a few things I like and will watch them from time to time, and I thoroughly enjoyed Godzilla Minus One, but yeah, I am pretty doing what you suggested already. I’ll turn on the old classics streaming channels, MeTV, etc before I watch anything produced here in the US anymore.

Why would you want, or accept, his apology?

It would be a blatant lie.

That’s Seth Rogen. He’s Canadian.

[right way right]

These guys should think twice about going outside.

Guess you got a point there........

Jack Black clearly repeats the line said by his bandmate.
