OK, So his last three were straight up self-promotion. Shocking.At least there were no Priceline pitches.

Hmmm…. I see a trend. He uses this one a week later. A little Tweet help from an assistant, perhaps. Still not much insight into El Capitan’s mindset.

Hmmm, shouting Canada. This sounds like the real deal. But again, it’s pure promotion. Oh Bill….don’t you have anything interesting to Tweet?

All his Friday follows have substantial followings of their own. Nothing to suggest he’s looking for anything of substance on Twitter.

Yeah…. and if you’re reading this for the first time, look forward to it being retweeted at least two more times. To make those occasions more rewarding try…reading…them…in…Kirk…speak.

@ChrisRRegan tells me that my album is debuting on the 48th anniversary of the airing of my twilight zone episode “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet”
(11 October 2011 12:46 PM, PDT )

And we shall dub the day “Nightmare at 20,000 record stores.” No, I kid. It’s probably better than Nimoy’s last effort.

@Rich1701 It’s the story of the fabled Major Tom told through song of what he and his wife went through. Each song adds to the story. MBB

More self-promotion. Again, shocking.

@grandeVanilla asked “I’m old school and still use a turntable. Is there any chance that this will be released on vinyl?” It’s also on vinyl
(11 October 2011 11:08 AM, PDT )

Ok, this is a cool bit of pandering to the geeks.

@princessgleek You are right! Here’s the Spotify link for the Spotifyian crowd: http://t.co/tSfWWlbk My best, Bill
(11 October 2011 10:31 AM, PDT )

He’s on Spotify, but his tweets are about as personal as hotel soap. This is a hard-working celebrity, people.

Rhapsodonians! Don’t fret! My album is also on Rhapsody: http://t.co/Md9ChzTt My best, Bill

Hmmm…I smell the re-emergence of that pesky assistant. Or, er, emergence, since we’re going backwards.

@charliesheen Congratulations on your 5 Millionth follower. My best, Bill
(8 October 2011 5:43 PM, PDT )

Congratulating the insane Charlie Sheen on his life in the spotlight is somewhat like congratulating Gary Busey for still riding motorcycles. Anyway, enough with the smartass analysis. We list the rest of the month’s tweets for posterity but be warned, it’s more of the same.

I will leave the link active for another day or so – feel free to share it. MBB

Now go have a listen to the finished Iron Man piece. It’s number 17 on the list
(8 October 2011 4:44 PM, PDT )

It got a lot of airplay, many made fun of the video but that was the intention. If you take anything out of context you will find it odd.
