William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk Image: James Vaughan
I am not now and have never been a Star Trek fan. Not a hater either, settle down there Skippy, just never really watched the show. Sure, I’ve seen bits of episodes here and there while flipping through channels, and I get the pop culture references that have extended the show’s legacy – and that of its actors – for decades.

William Shatner will always be Captain James T. Kirk. I’m guessing he might have mixed emotions about that identity overtaking his own. (It‘s OK, he can afford all the therapy sessions he wants.) He’s also been T.J. Hooker, Denny Crane in Boston Legal (loved that show!), and the Priceline guy.

But perhaps my favorite of Bill’s roles is that of oh-so-emotive chanteuse, or perhaps it’s more accurate to say spoken word artiste. He recorded an album in the late 60s titled The Transformed Man which featured such gems as Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. It’s everything you never knew you wanted, and so much more.
​
So hit play, turn it up, and set your phasers to ‘stunning’ cuz that’s the only word for it. Happy Birthday, Bill!
