    Just read up on the trump comment. I understand Jack has this family friendly persona that he likes to keep. I don’t agree with cancelling the tour and putting creative plans on hold. But I can understand why he’d be instantly on damage control.

    I share the same sentiment as Kyle. I really was saddened that the guy missed.

        Consider his work, other than Tenacious D. His roles in movies, random guest star appearances at concerts and such. He’s crafted this lovable teddy bear image. That’s what I’m referring to. Yes, he and Kyle have cultivated a fan base for Tenacious D that is anything but wholesome. But there is more to his image than just that. Most people that only know of him from his performances in movies see him as a family friendly silly guy. That has become his bread and butter.

        Again, I don’t agree with his response to Kyle’s birthday wish, but I can understand why he would be on the defensive for it.

      I really don’t get the family persona bit here. Yes, it’s “a thing”, but this happened at a Tenacious D concert. His definitively not child friendly persona singing songs like “Fuck her gently”.

        Very true! But bigger picture, this gets reported on and causes harm to his “family friendly” schtick. I don’t agree with it, but I understand it.

        Wasn’t there an imminent release of some movie he was going to be starring in or something?
