Actor, author, singer, astronaut, captain, comedian, Canadian.   Star Trek cemented the icon's stature but his career post Trekking had the man doing made-for-t.v. flicks, theatrical movies, a classic 'Saturday Night Live' hosting and.. music.  And oh, that music!

Join Luis and Glenn as they discuss most everything (well, at least everything they find interesting) the man did during those crazy 1960's.  This is a...

What do you get when you mix deviant sex, b-movies, hot rods, surfin', goth, rock and roll, fetishism, horror comics and humour?

You get one of the most insane, rock and roll bands of all time: The CRAMPS.   Beginning in 1976 and labelled 'psychobilly' by some, the Cramps' style of terror-and-madness infused southern-surf-garage-noise is a sound all their own and their unabashedly embracing of pretty mu...

The 1980s and 90s was a drifting period for our favorite shock rocker.  
Embracing various musical avenues and experimenting with new sounds and looksm we saw a few new incarnations of ALICE. 
Yes, embracing a leaner new wave asthetic was considered by many to be his low point, (We dissagree STRONGLY!) both musically and sales-wise before diving into a more glam metal period, finally returning to where he stepped out on his...

He's been called the godfather of punk,  the king of shock rock, the heavy metal monster!
He melded the world of theatre with the world of rock in a way that no one had ever seen before.  Inhabiting the personas of killer, monster,  child, and taking the name of a dead girl.  He gave voice to disenfrachised youth everywhere... 
AND he's not finished.  Hot on the heels of his newest album DETROIT STORIES the man do...
