catherine96 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 If Bowie had a dollar for every Major Tom thing there was, oh wait he does. I don't get why Shatner feels the need to make albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfvr Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Early version of Rocket Man. Hopefully he will update with back up. Got to give him kudos for expanding horizons at his age. And the followup to that piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Bill will be at Amoeba Records tonight at 6pm, signing(and maybe singing?) his new album. Would like to go, but I'm going to Jason Bonham's LZE at the Greek tonight, so I doubt I'll have time to hit both events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
