The FYI Holiday Schedule

This, dear readers, is our last newsletter before the holiday. We return with highlight editions on Dec. 28 and 31 and resume our usual Monday/Thursday schedule on Jan. 4. Between now and then, all the usuals and let's sincerely hope that 2021 is a less memorable one than 2020 has proved to be.

The FYI Holiday Schedule

By FYI Staff

Yes, dear friends, it's that time of the year when (ordinarily) we break out the punch bowl, pin the mistletoe, and gather in praise of the birth of baby Jesus or give a communal blessing in the form of family gatherings. Religious or not, December 25 is a day for celebration and exchanges of love and respect to those near and dear; at least it was before the darned virus tore us apart and turned us indoors. With the antidote now starting to swim into circulation, we can collectively sigh with relief in knowing that there's a chance 2021 will be better than the year before. This said, the FYI team wishes the best to you all over the holiday season.  This is our last newsletter before the break. We return on December 28.

William Shatner To Go Where He’s Never Gone Before on Heavy Metal Album Featuring Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden Covers

The 94-year-old TV icon teased that the untitled LP will feature 35 "metal virtuosos."

Forget about second acts in American life, TV legend William Shatner is up to his fourth, maybe 10th act at this point. The 94-year-old actor best known for playing the irascible James T. Kirk on the original Star Trek series and movies, as well as police sergeant T.J. Hooker in the 1980s is boldly going where even he hasn’t gone before.

In an Instagram post on Thursday (Feb. 19), the mutli-hyphenate performer who made his musical debut in 1968 with the beyond bizarre The Transformed Man LP featuring his florid readings of The Beatles’ “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” and Elton John’s “Rocket Man,” announced that he’s prepping his first heavy metal album at an age where metal typically goes into your body rather than comes out.
