It's more "Jack Black is a coward and a poser" than being mean imo

CallingWishing for the assassination of a political figure (especially one who is currently the sitting president, tho iirc, he was a candidate at the time) is pretty widely viewed as a red line and is very dangerous ground to tread for an American public figure, which he is.

Im pretty sure any "mean" thing he did is between him and Gaas, who has said they remain friends and will tour again as the D. Sounds like he is forgiven for anything you may have perceived as "mean." It seems like that should satisfy anyone with genuine concerns about his friend.

Or are you just canceling anyone whose rhetoric you view as insufficiently hateful towards Trump? (Dont answer that, it was rhetorical.)

edit: forgot it was a "wish"

"His friend didn't like Trump" is a little different to his friend publically endorsing an assassination attempt on their president.

Anyone who was aghast that 'OMG Tenacious D broke up' is no fan - they break up on every album, literally every show - it's a bit. Jack Black is no fan of Trump, he's publically stated the entire Apocalypto album was a response to Trump's 2016 win. He hates his guts.

That's very different to advocating for political assassination on stage.

The smart response was to back away from the situation, distance himself from KG, Kg to issue an apology, let it cool off - and then come back later. And would you look at that - so far that's exactly what's been done.
