The Anger of Compassion

The evil that men do

...is oft done with music.

I swear, by everything that is holy, I did not sanction this in 1978 -- nor since: William Shatner's interpretation of "Rocket Man."

As I've mentioned before, Shatner does have an approach -- Free Enterprise was funny, and Shatner made it so. In this scene, he raps Marc Antony's funeral oration for Julius Caesar. And there's this song, in which he actually does the job.

But "Rocket Man?"

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
