William Shatner Records New Album

I can't decide if this guy has a really terrific sense of humor or is just flat-out insane. Hopefully we've got another Rocket Man on our hands:

The one-time James T. Kirk of "Star Trek" fame has released an 11-song collection this month, a follow-up to his 1968 spoken-word debut that garnered such critical infamy it became a camp classic.

So it must be asked: Is this a trick or a treat?

"It's a treat for me," Shatner, 73, said by telephone from Los Angeles, where he was taping an episode of "Boston Legal," his latest TV show. "I hope nobody turns a trick on it."

The new album -- slyly titled "Has Been" -- once again puts Shatner's choppy, emphasis-added words to music. But this time he's penned his own lyrics and tempered the cheese quotient with a few musical friends. Ben Folds, who produced and arranged the new album and co-wrote many of the songs, wrangled guest appearances by Joe Jackson, Aimee Mann, Henry Rollins and Brad Paisley.

Still smirking?

...

As is often the case with Shatner's projects, the CD seems to forever flit between self and self-parody.
...

And in "You'll Have Time," he bluntly counsels "Live life like you're gonna die / Because you're gonna / I hate to be the bearer of bad news / But you're gonna die."

Ahem. I sense gold.

Thanks to RDB.

If you have not seen him on Boston Legal you should. He is brilliant.

"Mister Tambourine Maaaan!!!"

Easy, guys... Bill Shatner puts his pants on just like the rest of you - one leg at a time. Except, once his pants are on... he makes gold records.

Review here: William Shatner: Has Been

You can already buy it from the iTunes store :-) Sounds amusing, not sure the novelty of it would be worth $9.99.

Ace:

Why haven't you done anything yet with those pictures of Teresa Heinz Kerry holding an armful o' beer bottles on Drudge right now?

Mrs. Heinz-Schnappsy-McDrunkerton is probably just getting them for her bear-like, beer lovin' hubby. Sad.

Have u heard his cover of Pulp's Common People?

Harsh.

Maybe I'm out of touch but who's Joe Jackson, Aimee Mann, Henry Rollins and Brad Paisley?

Posted by: Enas Yorl on October 22, 2004 09:25 PM

Joe Jackson: 80's, big songs: "Is she really going out with him", "stepping out", "breaking us in two"

Aimee Mann: 80's, 90's, 00's: lead singer for Til Tuesday whose big hit was "voices carry", currently a solo artist, currently famous for solo work and soundtracks: Soundtrack for "Magnolia" and single "Save Me"

Henry Rollins: 80's, 90's, 00's: lead singer: Black Flag and Rollins Band.

Brad Paisely: 90's, 00's: Country Music, hit song "Me Neither"

Batman -

Wasn't Enas just implying that they are all has beens?

Don't hold out on us! Which of the guest artists played cowbell?

Posted by: Paul Zrimsek on October 22, 2004 11:28 PM

Rich:

I suppose. Don't think so, though - Aimee Mann is Arguably more famous now than she was then...

Posted by: The Batman on October 22, 2004 11:49 PM

Eh, sorry Rich - I had no idea who these people were. I still don't, really. I guess for me they are "never was-ians".

Posted by: Enas Yorl on October 22, 2004 11:58 PM

Joe Jackson hit .408 as a rookie in 1911, .375 with a Home Run and 6 RBI in the 1919 World Series he supposedly threw and had a lifetime batting average of .356, third in Major League history.

I do not believe Aimee Mann, Henry Rollins or Brad Paisley ever played in a World Series. I do believe, however, that even Shoeless Joe looks down on how badly the Yankees choked this year.

Shatner just finished "singing" Pulp's "Common People" on the Tonight Show. It actually seemed more like he was shouting the song, though.

Posted by: Sean M. on October 23, 2004 03:42 AM

Ace, I wrote five books with Bill Shatner, and know him well. He's both a very smart, funny guy, and slightly nuts. He also knows exactly what he's doing with these albums.

His office looks pretty much like what you'd expect to find your local real estate salesman working out of, except for the Trek stuff, the movie posters, the book covers, and the gold records hanging on the walls.

He points at the records, chuckles, and says, "They laugh at me. And I laugh all the way to the bank."

Yep.

In response to someone asking why the video tape doesn't show Tyler Robinson's face (PS, it does, but it's crappy video so it's blurry):

Candace Owens
@RealCandaceO

Because as I demonstrated on my show, there were MANY young men that all woke up and decided to dress in Maroon shirts and light shorts on the day of the Charlie's assassination.

The footage can be any one of these young men and in my opinion is likely multiple of them.

If Tyler Robinson's defense would like to contact me-- I'd be happy to supply them the folder of the maroon boys that I began archiving when I noticed the bizarre fashion trend.

I have thus far ID'd two of them, but will focus on IDing the rest of them when I am back on air.

I have maintained that the Feds had multiple decoy maroon boys on the ground that day. Without a clear image, they certainly cannot declare it is Tyler Robinson which is why all the Zionist influencers are hoping they can simply hypnotize the public into trusting blurry images and videos.
For such an "open and shut case" they have thus far provided ZERO evidence of anything outside of a criminal government conspiracy, the likes of which hasn't been seen since the JFK assassination.
More "fedslop" that Cavernous Nostrils is too smart to be taken in by:

Blake Neff
@BlakeSNeff

BREAKING: Lance Twiggs says that Robinson admitted to him in-person on Sept. 11 that the message he had sent the night before (presumably, messages sent while he was trying to retrieve his rifle the night of Sept 10) was true. He says Robinson told him "He wishes he hadn't done it."
Fenix Ammunition
@FenixAmmunition

Photos of the ammunition recovered from Tyler Robinson.

Remington headstamp on the case and despite the somewhat low resolution on the photo you can see the somewhat blunted nature of the projectile's tip.

This is a Remington Cor-Lokt soft point round. It's SPECIFICALLY designed to deform, slow down, and prevent an exit wound. Available at literally every single gun store and sporting goods store that sells ammunition.

In fact, 16 out of the 17 .30-06 varieties manufactured by Remington use some type of expanding, deforming, or fragmenting bullet. Only ONE of their products uses a full metal jacket projectile that could/would be expected to leave an exit wound.

Here's a clip of them sitting in my desk.

This has been the most easily debunked claim of their entire web of lies and it's really mind blowing considering this is exactly what you would choose for an assassination.

But yeah, definitely keep getting all your information from the DEI hire and the Portland pizza boy. I'm sure they know more about this than I do.

Post here, showing Tyler Robinson's ammunition, matching this guy's own box. And it is an expanding-tip hollow-point round.

Boy these Internet Experts (TM) sure do get a lot of things wrong.
Lost 70s Mystery Click
And a song with another song as an intro, too:
Be it sight, sound, smell, or touch
There's something
Inside that we need so much
The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound
Or the strength of an oak with roots deep in the ground
The wonder of flowers to be covered and then to burst up
Thru tarmac, to the sun again

Boy do they look like absolute dorks.

A little jiving on a Saturday night
And come what may
Gonna dance the day away
Jenny was sweet
She always smiled for the people she'd meet
On trouble and strife
She had another way of looking at life

One summer never ends, one summer never began
