William Shatner - Has Been

Post by Phil Owl » Tue Jan 18, 2005 1:26 pm

Has anyone heard this rather, UNIQUE release, produced by Ben Folds (wrote a fair amount of the music too), and featuring Joe Jackson, Aimee Mann, Brad Paisley, Green Jelly and best of all, The Virtuoso of Rant Himself, HENRY ROLLINS teaming up with Bill for "I Can't Get Behind That!", the BEST EVER rant about daily annoyances like leaf blowers, student drivers and computer generated fakery, among many targets.


Thoughts, rants, raves etc---------------

this came up last week on a thread.
I like the piece, "It hasn't happened yet." Shatner rocks.

He's got kind of a Leonard Cohen quality, doesn't he? Maybe with more of a "sheen".

He would have made a great anchorman.

So far I really like this CD. The Henry Rollins track and the cover of "Common People" are both very cool.

Amen to that, but I'm not sure on this one. Ill have to audition it on LaunchCast.

Edit: they got it on LC.
