For anyone worrying about the state of child care in America, look no farther than Jack Black's Mr. Crowley. (Yes, I get the irony of suggesting that Mr. Crowley would be a good source of child care.) In connection with Black Sabbath's Back to Beginnings concert (which, has an adjunct, has a mammoth series of sets organized by Morello from a dazzling array of rockers), Black, supported by children of rock royalty* (including Morello) and by other young prodigies, has unleashed a historic performance - one for the ages.**
Indeed, Black has now given us three of the most amazing video experiences in rock: (i) School of Rock, (ii) the absurdly underappreciated recreation of The Spirit of Radio with Kurstin x Grohl,*** and now (iii) Mr. Crowley.
I've never been overly excited about Mr. Crowley. For me, No More Tears was Ozzy's crowing achievement. I'm now about conflicted about it all. Enjoy.
