MUSIC SIGNPOSTS ON THE WEB'S LONELY ROAD

Artist:
Album:
Track: Common People - (with Joe Jackson)
William Shatner : TV God , cultural guru , champion of space and time and schmaltzy singer. He has done it all - movies - tv - commercials - book - albums and he came back in 2004 under the production and writing prowess of Sir Ben Folds to create an album of originals and a cover or PULP's masterpiece 'Common People' ...which does him just fine and dandy...who croons on this song with the Shat? None other than Joe Jackson. Also involved on tracks John Mark Painter , Aimme Mann , Matt Chamberlain , Lemon Jelly and my Fave track on the album - a ditty called 'I cant get behind that' with guest vocalist and my personal jesus -Henry Rollins and to make it even more interesting Mr. Adrian Belew plays guitar on the song. Awesome. Great. Fantastic. Surreal. Laughable. Sincere. Always Fun. That pretty much sums up this smartly written , well played album the Shat came out with. After all these years of ol Bill being ridiculed for his 70's spoken word lounge albums... the Shat is the one left last laughing now. Ps , he has turrets syndrom which is why he has the unmistakable pause when he talks. So he doesnt show a stutter. xJmxPTEyMTE1NjEyNTMwMjQmcHQ9MTIxMTU2MTI1ODg1MiZwPTE4NDMzMSZkPSZuPSZnPTE=.jpg" />

Now get down with Shat on this track right now! Did I stutter?

You know the main thing I am taking away from this blog entry is that Captain Kirk's new nickname is "the Shat." Nice work, Cam.

I think I heard this once and it made me vaguely nauseous, so I'm not pressing that play button.

So cool that all those musicians guested on this. He's obviously been an inspiration to many people. He's definitely an icon that's for sure. Such a funny song.

i was actually thinking I would spell the colours name out under the flag in Gaelic...and I may be taken as a Italian American , when I lived in SoFla ppl thought I was Spanish, and my buddy who is full blooded Sicilian gets mistaken for American Indian all the time...weird.
