The next time Capt. Kirk heads off for the Final Frontier, he can boldly take a gaudy, hand-painted Gibson J-200 where no gaudy, hand-painted Gibson J-200 has gone before. The Gibson people presented the guitar to William Shatner last week in Nashville at the premier of "William Shatner's Gonzo Ballet," a documentary about a ballet set to Shatner's 2004 album "Has Been."The J-200 is about $4,500 worth of guitar. No offense to the artist (Mandy Lawson on the right, shown with Ben Folds on the left, who helped produce the album, and Gibson Chairman Henry Juszkiewicz), if I was going to get one, I think I'd go for the natural finish.

I would love to dance the Gonzo Ballet.
Whoa, I had to google that to see that it was from the actual Shatner album. You didn't recite that from memory, did you?
Yes and no. I had just been listening to that song. I've got the album and put a couple of cuts on my iTouch.
