The Reiner-directed rock mockumentary This Is Spinal Faucet (one of his best movies) was launched in 1984, a decade earlier than Black fashioned the comedy-rock duo Tenacious D with Kyle Gass. One other decade later, Black starred in 2003’s College of Rock, enjoying a struggling musician who poses as an alternative trainer as he conjures up a bunch of fifth graders to kind a rock band.
