When asked if he thinks he could make a living strictly from music, Black responds, "I should try it. I should try it like for a year or so, as an experiment. But I have all these other commitments. I do movies. And I also do producing stuff, like in TV and also documentaries. I'm just sort of all over the place."
As a singer, he has a unique style or method of often starting a song speaking quietly and slowly, then segueing into a faster and louder tempo. He also frequently does scat-type singing, and is a big jazz fan. But more than anything, Tenacious D resemble a real-life Spinal Tap, playing over-the-top mock-rock that combines genuine songwriting prowess with amusing lyrics. O n the subject of how he got his start, or what was his first big break, Black seems dazed. "Jeez, I mean . . . I don't know, I've just . . . I've done so may things! It's like I've lived a lifetime for two. Or three," he snickers.
