I met William Shatner at Stanley’s restaurant in Los Angeles last month. I had a chance to speak to him while we waited for our tables.

Was he ‘down to earth’ or the typical celebrity?

He was very down to earth and very cordial. Our conversation was the new re-vamped “Star Trek” movie. He was very pleased with the film.

I can attest, tinnitus is terrible. I have that AND permanent labyrinthitis, which drastically effects your balance, like being intoxicated, but without the pleasureable symptoms, just all the bad ones. I cannot, for example, operate a car.

Agreed - he was fair, he got Limbaugh talking, then he got out of the way and let his guest speak.

He’s one of those guys that you just never know what they’ll be saying or what they’ll be wearing.

Exactly. He may not have agreed with Rush on the Health Care issue but he did a real-and-for-true interview and let Rush do most of the talking.

Pretty good, actually. He established common ground with El Rushbo as being a fellow sufferer of hearing problems and drew him out on that. I had never heard Rush go into detail about his hearing affliction and what it’s like with the implant.

The part about him being totally deaf for a month and having to rely on a stenographer was illuminating. A talk-radio host going deaf? What a nightmare!

I wasn’t a Rush listener back then but I remember Don & Mike making fun of his Marlee Matlin speech at the time. I had always thought you could talk just fine if you went deaf in adulthood. Now I know better.

Shat got tinitus filming “Arena” years ago. I wasn’t enough to get roughed up by a big lizard.
