How much would you pay to have your photo taken standing next to William Shatner?

He'd have to pay me.

 

Me? Nada. I don't dislike him or begrudge him his fame, I just think he's an occasionally entertaining cheeseball.

I ran into Rick Neilsen a few years ago in a guitar store (it was a Wednesday at noon, the place was almost deserted) and got a picture with him for free. And Cheap Trick was my first concert in 1979, so that man's a legend to me.

 

He won't be around 20-30 years from now. Its a pretty rare and cool opportunity. I say go for it! Its friggin' Capn Kirk! Its definitely something to pass on for many generations.
Star trek will still be watched 1000 years from now.
Cheap Trick...not so much.

 

latinum

 

If he was this guy...sure



Well...maybe not that much....

 

if you can afford it, I say go for it. I'd wear a Twilight Zone t-shirt.

 

If it's a big deal to YOU , go for it.

 

I'll always love him for Captain Kirk....He is funny,.... but was never that guy again

 

I remember that Twlight Zone episode with Shatner. It was actually pretty good.

 

I remember when he did a weekly low-budget TV game show in Canada, on our local network (BCTV or something like that) . This was after STTOS but before the movies. It was a sort of "Charades" panel thing, cheesy and hilarious. Wish I could recall what it was titled!

 

I saw the original viewing of it in 1963; 13 years old.

When he pulled back the curtain.........scared the crap out of me ......

 

35 cents.

 

Me to! 10 y.o.

 

But do you remember the episode with the cafe fortune telling machine where his character became obsessed with the answers he was given?

 

If the cost isn't a big deal, then sure. The man is a legend. But wear a Star Wars t-shirt.

 

'bout a buck three-eighty for me.

 

Lest we forget, or focus too much on his Star Trek days, here's one of the absolute best cover versions ever.
