...Scofflaws' ode, "William Shatner," is another prime example of the gleeful nature of ska. Dedicated to the actor of Star Trek fame, the few words of the song not suprisingly treat William Shatner as a mere synonym for Captain Kirk: "He's got a fine tan shirt with an emblem on the chest/ The interstellar girls all like him the best."

Despite his dishevelled appearance and shambolic demeanor, he exudes joie de vivre and good nature. He undercuts his sinister seduction by the forces of primitive religion with his childlike innocence and enthusiasm...
...from the global competition that other U.S. industries and workers are facing -- and winning. Senate leaders vowed to press for a vote this week or during a special session in late November.
