So glad he boldly went and passed that kidney stone.

That's an excellent find Harverster! Well done!

 

I wonder if they will be friends with us like those Royal Forums(sic) people?

More than 35 years after the release of his debut solo album, William Shatner teams up with Ben Folds to create Has Been, a surprisingly pop-driven, lyrically potent collection of songs written by the duo.  With the exception of “Trying,” co-written by Folds and novelist Nick Hornby (High Fidelity, About A Boy), “Real” by Brad Paisley, and Pulp’s “Common People,” Shatner proves to be a witty and self-deprecating poet, while Folds’ talent for crafting the perfect pop melody has never been more evident.  Has Been is NOW IN STOCK in our store!

A must for Christmas!

Hearing Bill sing "Common People" must be worth the price alone.

Seriously tempting... maybe the album contains some beautiful music I could ask to be played at my funeral? B)

 

Editted to add... Listening to Bill sing Common People is worth the cover price alone.

My kids are into Beatle songs at the moment (my fault), and we're discussing what the songs actually mean.

 

To aid me in this task, last week I stuck the words 'Lucy In The Sky' into Answers.com

 

It responded: 'LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS

 

or did you mean: William Shatner's musical career'

The song truely means what it is entitled. It was created for the purpose

of John Lennon getting back at the media for thinking it meant LSD.

 

His son drew a picture in school of "Lucy in the sky with diamends"

some random woman. I'm guessing the media got some hold of

it and thought it related to LSD or some kind of drugs which

it did not.

 

- So tell your children it's about a cartoon\drawing.

Yeah and also that little pop track The Shamen knocked out a few years ago was about some dodgy guy in the British club scene :lol:

Most surprising thing about this is that Shatner is still alleged to be alive.

I'll endorse the truly unique charm of Has Been, an album like no other of late. Ben Folds also deserves credit for musical arrangements that take Shatner to a level that mocks The Transformed Man, his previous album.

 

The man would be a massive hit onstage at Glastonbury.

£14,000? You could buy a nice original pair of Spock's ears for that. :D

Wouldn't it be a better deal to buy both her breasts at £7000 each, or are they not deemed in perfect condition anymore? :blink:
