Your Monday Moment of Words Fail Me
Jack Black and Jimmy Fallon and...oh, just see for yourself.
To quote from the old Mighty Thor theme song -- you behold in breathless wonder.
Jack Black is so underrated as a singer and musician - we saw Tenacious D recently and yes, most of their songs are parody dumb fratboy joke metal, but the actual music and performances were top notch and we really, really enjoyed it.
I will say that Jack Black possesses a nice set of pipes, can nail harmonies, and an overdose of rock and roll schmaltz. But I think he does help remind us that rock is supposed to be cathartic, good time music.
