from Nimoy’s song Highly Illogical

I think he was trying to typecast himself. It is cool when actors pay homage to what makes them famous. It’s not cool when they try to break out and the fans shun them.

I have the Bilbo Baggins song on video. Damn if it isn’t weird. I love old 60’s pop and how everything just looks evil and cheesy.
