Hunger Strike
With tongue
planted firmly in cheek, the members of Tenacious D announced
Monday that they would begin a 45-day hunger strike at 5 p.m. In
a satirical move to promote the DVD "The Complete Masterworks,"
due Tuesday via Epic, members Jack Black (news) and Kyle Gass
said they will climb into a seven-foot by three-foot by
seven-foot glass box 50 yards above Times Square at the
intersection of 45th Street and Broadway, where they will remain
for the length of the strike. The intersection is the location
of MTV studios, where they were to appear on Monday's episode of
"Total Request Live." Actor/singer/guitarist Black said the
strike would end early one three conditions: if "The Complete
Masterworks" goes platinum, if "hunger is solved" or if there is
peace in Middle East. The duo made the announcement dressed in
silver and white superhero costumes, with the letter "D"
covering their barrel-shaped chests, white gloves on their hands
and white capes tied around their necks. In addition to water
and one red cell phone, Black quipped that they would bring one
guitar into the glass box with them. "If we need extra
nourishment, we will live off each others' rock." When the pair
was asked the longest duration either had gone without
sustenance, Gass replied that one time he had gone eight hours
between meals. Black said that once he slept for 12 hours,
effectively spending 13 hours in-between meals. "It's gonna test
our will, but I feel confident we're gonna make it," said Gass.
After the hunger strike, Black said the group will continue
working on the long-awaited Tenacious D movie, "Tenacious D in
the Pick of Destiny."
