I, too, was someone who, for many years, thought TOS was evidence of only a receding hairline that sometime in the early 70s became a "problem" to be "solved" by a toupee.Toup Sleuth Since 1984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249569588037368037.post-87397608980762456632010-08-13T13:52:28.260+02:002010-08-13T13:52:28.260+02:00Shatner's amazing regardless of what he's ...Shatner's amazing regardless of what he's got on his head. As someone just said, he's nearly 80 years old - I take my hat (or some form of head-covering) off to him, I truly do. Aside from the fact that Jim Kirk is etched on my psyche forever as the archetypal male, his bizarre renditions of Rocket Man, Mr Tambourine Man (that screechy bit at the end!) just leave me speechless - as does the devil may care boldness of the TJ curly - I love him! I see on twitter that he's following the philosophy of Immanuel Kant today.
