New William Shatner album gets assist from Henry Rollins, Joe Jackson

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

In "I Can't Get Behind That," Shatner and Rollins playfully rail against high gas prices, student drivers, leaf blowers and car alarms. Full of mock anger, Shatner offers the line "I can't get behind so-called singers that can't carry a tune, get paid for talking, how easy is that?" Then he pauses, reconsiders: "Well, maybe I can get behind that."

Shatner has high hopes for the album, even though he knows it may be ridiculed.

"I'd love for it to sell a lot of records," he says. "If some philistine wanted to pull a song and make fun of it, that would be all right. I would have accomplished what I set out to do."

As for whether he expects to give teenybopper artists like, say, Christina Aguilera a run for their money, Shatner is coy. "I've got the same moves," he said, "but I'm not allowed to show them."
