Katrina Benefit hosted by Tenacious D 9/22/05

Last night my boyfriend and I attended the Tenacious D Benefit to help victims of Katrina. This was a fantastic show and I felt humbled by the outpouring of love, money, and energy that was swirling around inside that venue. Jack and Kyle who makeup the band Tenacious D were wonderfully informal with their guest performers and audience. The event didn’t feel too polished or rehearsed which made for a vivacious spontaneity that translated to the audience. Jack Black was a total maniac, handling most of the hosting duties since Kyle was sick that night. He tumbled, rolled, flew, pirouetted across and around the stage in a manic frenzy that put me in the mind of a whirling dervish. Honestly, I wanted to go onstage with him, what a fantastic opportunity he has to unleash this great capacity to captivate an audience with music, comedy, and spirit.

If you ever have the opportunity to see the D live, take it! You'll be in for a treat.
