William Shatner sings again
Actor is serious about new CD -- and gets top-flight help Monday, October 18, 2004 Posted: 9:44 AM EDT (1344 GMT)

William Shatner made his new album, "Has Been," brutally honest.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Just in time for Halloween comes a CD from a guy more likely to inspire a holiday costume than a musical following -- William Shatner.

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."

Stop right there! I have here the only working phaser ever built. It was fired only once, to keep William Shatner from making another album.

Reminds me of the old saw:

Q: "What do get when you take Larry Olivier away from Larry Olivier?"

I have to say that his new show is a scream. They finally found the perfect vehicle for him.

LOL.... but if you read the article.... you find that Shatner wrote the songs on this CD. So, you'll get some indepth insight into "the man".

I will always have a spot of admiration for Shatner. He brought one of my heroes to life, for me.

Sure, there have been feuds between co-stars and fans, but that's all under the bridge.

Yeah, the same people who bought the American Idol "She Bangs" album by that Chinese guy.
