William Shatner asks some big questions in “Ponder the Mystery,” the first single from his upcoming prog-rock album of the same name, featuring Rick Wakeman (Yes), Robby Krieger (the Doors), George Duke (Frank Zappa), Steve Vai (Zappa, David Lee Roth), and multi-instrumentalist Edgar Winter, among others. “The details of the devil, and the angelic purity.” “The miracle of passion, and the hate of depravity.” Actually, let me rephrase what I said earlier: I have some big questions about “Ponder the Mystery,” including, what the hell is going on?
My mind hasn’t been this turned into cold soup since I saw “Miracles” for the first time. On a related note: remind me to pitch Juggalos In Space to HBO.
