Live long, and prosper.

He has one of my three favorite voices ever (the other two being Morgan Freeman and Betty White).

I luv me some Leonard Nimoy! He has a part in Fringe, lol. I was so stoked when he popped up in the finale to seasom 1. SO awesome!

i shall always love him for his little ditties he "sang" on his wonderfully tasteless album he did in 1968 called "the two sides of leonard nimoy" - on side one he was spock and on side two he was plain ol' pot-smokin' alky-swillin' smilin' like a stoned fool lenny nimoy. he had to be high as a fly when he did this! you can hear it in his singing. a sample lyric:

"HIGHLY ILLOGICAL"-

boy meets girl
they fall in love
she tells him
he's everything she's dreamed-of

but when they get married,
before he's aware-
she's changed his habits,
the way he combs his hair-

she's changed him into something
that he's never been,
and then complains,
he's not like other men!

now i find this most illogical!


priceless!

Ever heard William Shatner's Tamborine Man? Leonard Nimoy is much better!

or his truly demented version of "Lucy in the sky with diamonds." oh gawd that was a dead horse of a different color :lol:
he sang it like he had just drunk a fifth of a witches brew made up of JD and laughing gas and some hash for $#!+s and giggles. he aurally "staggered" through the song like a drunken cosmic sailor on "shore leave." it was soooooo baaaaad that i had to change the station before the end of it.

Happy birthday, Leonard Nimoy - Mr Spock and the voice of Galvatron in the '86 animated Transformers movie!

I actually saw him - from a distance, sadly - at the Star Trek booth at last year's San Diego Comic-Con, but didn't get the chance to speak to him. Probably a good thing though, really, since I'd probably have just gibbered like a fool and been unable to form coherent sentences.

That's nothing compared to the insane glory of his performance of Rocket Man at the 1978 Science Fiction Awards. Ye gods that was bonkers...
