I must say,
William Shatner certainly put on a show.
Over the span of two hours
(which didn't feel at all like two hours)
he regaled the audience with stories of his life
(and make no mistake—this is his show,
all about things Shatner),
how he started in theater (and why … he does … those … dramatic pauses in … his speech!)
moved into film and television,
his dealing with death (his father,
a beloved horse,
his third wife)
and of course,
his “singing” career.
He did “sing” “Real,”
but did not “sing” “Space Oddity,”
“Major Tom (Coming Home)” or most regrettably—perhaps mercifully depending upon your view,
“Rocket Man.”
Other than not “singing” some of his more notorious “songs” it was fun.
And you never got the idea he's 84.
Eighty-four!
And surprisingly,
the auditorium wasn't even all that full.
I mean,
Shatner!
How can you not like him?
Unless you're George Takei that is.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
