Lines: 52 This is becoming a trend! Did Leonard Nimoy want a recording career? I used to have a copy of "The Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy", which were, of course, Himself and Spock. One side of the record was "Leonard" and the other was "Spock". The first cut on the "Spock" side was a number entitled "Highly Illogical": From far beyond the Galaxy, I've journeyed to this place To study the behaviour patterns of the Human Race... And I find them HIGHLY ILLOGICAL. Take the case of your automobile, Greatest invention since man discovered wheels...four on the floor, push button windows, push button doors. Double barrelled carburators rush you any place, but you never can find a parking place. MOST ILLOGICAL. Anyway, it went from the light frivolity of this number, to another one called "Once I smiled a smile so rare", a somber love song that had to be referencing This Side of Paradise (The one with the "happiness spores" and Spock falls in love after being infected by the spores) to the final number called "Amphibious Assault", more a spoken dispcriptive piece with background music for emotional impact, about war in the future. The Leonard side started with a tribute to Bilbo Baggins (Nimoy is a great Tolkien fan) and went on to several country/western and folk songs ( "Gentle on My Mind" - Glen Campbell? and "If I were a Carpenter" are two that I can remember) Anyone else heard of any more Nimoy albums? -- <*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*> Paul Summers Watkins Johnson, Co. 2525 N.
