probably something like a backdrop to the contents of the blackboard seems a valid question to me– DreddJan 9, 2013 at 18:15

@francesco, I think a better question is the simplest question: "what exactly does the blackboard say?"– stevvveJan 10, 2013 at 1:49

It's a pity there is no commons family tree of rock otherwise we could all learn so much from this :(– shirishDec 25, 2018 at 1:25
Jack Black explained on the Watt from Pedro podcast that the director, cast and crew filled it out. He wanted to make sure the interviewer, Mike Watt, knew that he had added in Watt's band, the Minutemen, because he is a huge fan.
