RELIGIOUS MOTHER UNWITTINGLY INTRODUCED BLACK TO ROCK

TENACIOUS D rocker JACK BLACK discovered his love for rock music when his religious mother preached to him about "the devil's music". The actor/musician took delight in a tape recording of a preacher telling him to forsake rock 'n' roll because he heard BLUE OYSTER CULT's DON'T FEAR FOR THE REAPER for the first time. He says, "My mother was going through a Jews For Jesus stage and gave me a tape of a preacher. "This guy was saying, 'Don't listen to rock. It's the devil's music and here's an example...' "He played a bit of Don't Fear For The Reaper and it sounded good. That tape was so dumb, but it turned me on to a lot of great devil music."
