News About Ben

William Shatner talks to Rolling Stone about his creative collaborations with Ben Folds:
excerpt:
"It's been a number of years since you first started working with Ben Folds. Was he the guy who said you've got to do this stuff again?
Yes, and the story I tell in the show, he actually called me when a couple of guys who wanted me to do a record were in my office. I said, 'Would you take Ben Folds as the producer?' Later, I called him back – 'They want to mock me.' They were Golden Throats people. 'What are we gonna do?' And he said the key words: 'Tell the truth.' We met some months later in Nashville, where we wrote and produced Has Been, which was very well received. I'd worked with him on Fear of Pop, and we'd become buddies."
