A Legend in His Own Mind PLUS Everyone Else's

Big Bill's new autobiography "Up Till Now: The Autobiography" is a laugh out loud read with a real insight into the guy that makes you realize that he is truly an accomplished individual.

I like the guy - always have. Oddly, I have enjoyed him more as he has aged and was confident in his work to be able to poke fun at himself and play larger than life. I was not a Star trek fan ever. I don't think I have ever seen a full episode of T.J. Hooker. But I watch a character like Denny Crane on Boston Legal and am spellbound. You know what really got me hooked on the Shatner Phenomenon? We he and Ben Folds covered "Common People" by Pulp. Nothing beats it.

If you want - check it out on Rhapsody
