Jack Black is available to perform at birthday parties. Well, maybe not all birthday parties, but if you’re a rock star and your mother just turned 100, he might oblige.
That’s exactly what Jables did for Tom Morello and his mother, Mary, who celebrated her 100th birthday on October 1. The Rage Against the Machine guitarist shared the video below of Black performing with a group of 12 and 13-year-olds at Mary’s birthday. (Fun fact: One of the kids performing was Tom’s son, Roman.)
Tom captioned the clip, “Mary Morello’s 100th bday celebration featured a stirring rendition of @ozzyosbourne & #RandyRhoads ‘Mr. Crowley’ performed by @jackblack and a kick-ass band of 12 & 13 year olds! Mary was pleased!”
Tom shared other posts honoring his remarkable mom. One of them was a gallery of photos showing her taking part in various activist activities. He captioned the post, in part, “Two days before my mom’s 100th birthday, she was on the picket line with @unitehere11 striking hotel workers. The next day, she was serving food to the homeless & hungry at @themidnightmission on Skid Row. This retired public school teacher from a family of Illinois coal miners has led a humble yet powerful life.”
