I Want to Be a Tree · William Shatner

When my time has come
Don’t put me in a box
And skip the fancy shiva
No platters of bagels and lox

Lay down that spike and chisel
No headstone will I need
Yeah when I die my wish is clear
Just plant me like a seed

‘Cause I want to be a tree
Yes, I want to be a tree
With plenty of leaves and bark to spare
For everyone to see

I want to be a tree
Yes, I want to be a tree
You can sit right down under my shade
That’ll be enough for me

I read it and it’s true
Make a pod from my remains
Then stick me in thе ground
And pray for sun and rain

The richness from my body
Will superchargе the earth
And like a natural maternity ward
To a sapling I’ll give birth


So I want to be a tree
Yes, I want to be a tree
With plenty of leaves and bark to spare
For everyone to see

I want to be a tree
Yeah, I want to be a tree
You can sit right down under my shade
That’ll be enough for me

Don’t stick me in an urn
For some relative to keep
And please don’t throw me overboard
To the bottom of the deep

No twenty-one-gun salute
So just put those guns to bed
I’ve got a much more peaceful wish
Bring the garden tools instead

‘Cause I want to be a tree
Yeah, I want to be a tree
With plenty of leaves and bark to spare
For everyone to see

I want to be a tree
Yes, I want to be a tree
Standing, swaying firm and tall
Glorious and free


I want to be a tree
Yes, I want to be a tree
You can sit right down under my shade
That’ll be enough for me
You can sit right down under my shade
That’ll be enough for me

Why William Shatner's Boston Legal Was Canceled

intro-1753286947.webp


"While he's primarily known for playing Captain James T. Kirk, some of William Shatner's best performances exist outside of the "Star Trek" franchise. Prior to joining the USS Enterprise, Shatner — along with his fellow "Star Trek" alum Leonard Nimoy — graced "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.", i.e. one of the most influential spy TV series of all time. He's also one of several "Star Trek" actors to star in "The Twilight Zone," Rod Serling's game-changing sci-fi, fantasy, and horror anthology show that's influenced everything from "Black Mirror" to the cinema of Jordan Peele."

"Needless to say, "Boston Legal" is one of the quirkier legal dramas out there — it even inspired the "Parks and Recreation" cast to create a fake TV show set in the world of law. Unfortunately, though, the series' acclaim and lasting influence on some tastemakers wasn't enough to prevent ABC from pulling the plug on it after five seasons. With that in mind, let's find out why "Boston Legal" was canceled." READ MORE

"At the big network run-through where we presented the show that we were going to do in front of a live audience, it exploded into this huge fight between Shatner and me…’This is not Star Trek! This is Third Rock’…[We went] off to our dressing rooms [saying] ‘I’m not coming back until that man apologizes’…You should have seen the NBC executives…Then of course we came out with an April Fool’s cake."

"William Shatner is 94, and he is still very sharp and youthful. Space-time has been good to him. Perhaps its because of years of traveling at warp speed."

UPDATE:

"The “Star Trek” actor was having blood sugar issues at his Los Angeles home, his agent, Harry Gold, told TMZ. Shatner, 94, reportedly called emergency services as a precaution and was transported to a local hospital where he was examined. He’s already home, according to Gold, who said “he’s fine.”
 
"The Hollywood veteran has now reassured fans that he “overindulged” and is “perfectly fine”.

"He shared a mustachioed photo of himself on Instagram on Thursday with the text: “Rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.” Shatner captioned it: “I overindulged. I thank you all for caring but I’m perfectly fine.”
