I knew Altman's kid wrote the lyrics, but wasn't sure he got royalties for the instrumental version used in the TV show.
I do remember hearing about how Roddenberry wrote lyrics to the Star Trek theme. So I guess I should have known about the lyrics thing.
Robert Altman is a terrific director. I believe I've enjoyed every movie of his that I've seen. Yes, even Popeye.
