"I am superior, sir, in many ways......but I would gladly give it up to be human." Lieutenant Commander Data, Star
Trek: The Next Generation
Brent Spiner, the actor who breathed life into everybody's favorite android
will be coming into the Martha Quinn Presents studio to talk about his new CD, Dreamland. Brent had the idea to string together
a bunch of his favorite classic American standards with a whole "boy meets girl" story. Listening to it is like
sitting in a Broadway show with your eyes closed. He hooked up with Fiona Apple's sister, Maude Maggart, to be his female
"co-star" and also recruited Mark "Luke Skywalker" Hamill, to be one of the "actors". Wow. Data
and Luke Skywalker? Where's ET when you need him???
We've got an hour, so I'm sure we'll get to
some 80's, and maybe a little ST:TNG, if I should be so bold as to go there.
I've posted a few Brent Spiner
links so you can check out what his new CD is all about, remember him as Data, and get a feel for how frikkin' funny the
guy is. I'm thinking about doing a segment of listener questions so if you've got a good one for Brent, beam it over.
If it's not too much tribble, that is! xoxo, Martha
