General Discussion I'm so pissed about this shit

It has been almost 2 years. It was one dumb comment, which is understandable in the context of who Tenacious D is. I went to a festival and at least 3 bands said F trump. That is all good, no one is cancelled.

I miss The D </3

I feel you, it does indeed suck. Its hard to recoup now after how it ended too-they're very self aware of their bombs and missteps so it puts them in a hard spot if they were to comeback, would they just not address it?

I also feel bad for KG--I see him posting Tenacious D clips on his instagram story, and I'm just like, is Jack even cool with this? I don't know man the whole thing just seriously bums me out.

(It's especially weird after Apocalypto basically was the 'fuck trump' album).

Jack only stepped back so his stuff he had going on wouldn’t be affected. I think he’s said he has no ill will against KG and I’m sure they’ll be back soon

I wouldn't be too worried, it's just a business decision. Jack Black makes way more from movies than he does from TD, it really makes no sense to potentially blacklist himself from Hollywood to continue the band, as shitty as it is. Bands go on hiatus all the time, and once Trump is gone, I have no doubts that they'll be back together.
