Buftex Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Fresh from his great first album many years ago comes William Shatners or as we know him Captain Kirk his next album " Has Been" oh my goodness listen to title song...... Listen here Has Been 75112[/snapback] This album is wild, it is not Shatner just doing campy convers of classic rock songs. He co-wrote all of the songs with Ben Folds, and has guests like Adrian Belew (ex-King Crimson/Bowie sideman), and Henry Rollins. It is at times hilarious, and other times painful. If you grew up a Star Trek nerd liek me, you will get a kick out of hearing the voice of James T Kirk saying things like "I just can't get behind a big fat a$$". But, there is one very somber track on there called "What Have You Done", an open conversation with his wife who committed suicide a few years back. Very unusual record....
