With the passing of James Doohan (Scotty in the original Star Trek tv series), many a blog spent a moment to bring back some of those fond Star Trek memories of old...
My buddy Kevin from The Talk Arena had a post that showed how 'cool' Bill Shatner was in performing his rendition of Rocket Man. And of course after viewing this, there is no question of how 'cool' Shatner is...
After circulating that amongst some friends I quickly was given a link to a Leonard Nimoy video that is the EXACT opposite of what 'cool' is... The web site "Spock's Greatest Hits - The Two Sides Of Leonard Nimoy" has this little snipit to prepare you for what you will see:"Side Two features one of the most amazing artifacts ever committed to vinyl: "The Ballad Of Bilbo Baggins". Not satisfied with his musical disembowling of the most popular sci-fi series of all time, Mr. Nimoy turned his substantial talents towards the works of an elderly British fantasy literature writer.In the course of the 2 minutes 18 seconds of horror that follow, not only is the plot of the entire novel given away but Nimoy knowingly lets the listener in on what Bilbo is really smoking in his pipe down in that wacky hobbit-hole. There is also a bassoon solo."
Anyways, for some 100% pure corn value, here's a direct link to Leonard Nimoy's performance of "The Ballad Of Bilbo Baggins"...enjoy!
