William Shatner, aided and abetted by Ben Folds, singing Pulp's "Common People Hope the link works. If not, you can find it on Neil Gaiman's journal - the entry for July 26th 04 |

The man is devoid of musical talent, but carries on like he was Elvis or something. He should be flipping burgers or selling life insurance in Omaha. |

27 Jul 04 - 11:15 AM (#1234795) Subject: RE: BS: This belongs in non music (Shatner) From: Little Hawk With all due respect, Bob...(cos I think you are the greatest)...I must disagree with your assessment of William Shatner. He is probably the greatest talent that Canada has ever produced and he transcends the normal boundaries of what we term "Art", taking personal creativity into undreamt of realms of expression and nuance. I am deeply grateful to Bagpuss for the link! All I can say is, "Wow!" What an awesome recording! Shatner has once again shattered all previous standards and seamlessly moved into the field of postmodern music with his bold and piquant rendition of "Common People". He says so much that this reviewer was rendered simply breathless upon hearing the recording for the first time. |

All of those interplanetary species with lettuce and tomato, let alone the cooking tips from those Vulcans who are well known for their gastronomic talents.... |

He could take burger flipping into a whole new dimension. I guess Dylan, in his usual manner, has hit on a deeper truth in what appeared on the surface to be merely a sarcastic putdown of Shatner. |

You have crossed a very black line with that remark. You may have DONE a Victoria's Secret commercial, but she told Shatner what that secret IS. Jealousy becomes you not.

Imagine what that would do to tighten things up around here!! A |

The Victoria's Secret girl DID tell Shatner what the secret is, and that's why he's got that big, dumb grin on his face. Our William has always been devastating to the fair sex. Amos, they would never dare to do that. Never. |
