Oh! Too cool! Ritchie and Frampton are on there. Have to say, Shatner has lived a life in full. He has a horse farm about an hour's drive from here. But ... that cover ... er .. ummm ... lol. He looks vaguely like Buzz Lightyear. haha

I know someone (here in the Greater Ohio River Valley) who actually went out and bought that PB album ... spent good money. She's not insane (that I know of) and only in her 20s but says she likes his version of a lot of those songs better than the originals. I think that a "no accounting for taste" situation. lol OTOH, anything Shatner does has become kind of cool just because he does it. He's no Pat Boone.

I recently saw him in a couple of old Outer Limits/Twighlight Zone episodes - not much has changed!
