WILLIAM SHATNER Seeking Major Tom

The cool thing about being William Shatner, is that you can do whatever the hell you want at this point in life.  There’s a pretty good chance people will buy it… and if not, who cares?

You’re William freaking Shatner.

I’m sure some sort of Star Trek checks, book and album checks, & Priceline paychecks are still pouring in regularly.  This involves Zakk Wylde on guitar?  So crazy.  I wonder is anyone called Tony Iommi to ask if he wanted to do it?

Bohemian Rhapsody?  Iron Man?  Not sure what they have to do with space, but they’re the ones I’m most interested in.  Well, that and a Hawkwind cover…  Hawkwind?  Crazy.

It’s not only an album… it’s a 2 CD or 3 LP set.  It could all be just to advertise his new book.  This is hilarious & awesome:
