Bonus Disc:
- William Shatner's "Gonzo Ballet" Documentary (50:44) - One of the most unlikely but memorable musical collaborations in recent decades happened when Shatner -- 36 year after The Transformed Man -- teamed with multi-instrumentalist Ben Folds for Has Been, a 2004 pop album where Shatner ruminated on life, love, and loss. (Their first collaboration actually occurred on Folds' little-known 1999 side project, Fear of Pop.) Surprisingly, Has Been -- including its lead-off cover of Pulp's "Common People", "It Hasn't Happened Yet", "Together", and other songs -- was made into a 2009 ballet by choreographer Margo Sappington, whose development and production are chronicled during this fun lo-fi documentary, as is the inception of the album. Interview clips with Shatner, Sappington, Ben Folds, Henry Rollins, and others are included, as is ballet rehearsal footage.
