SCOTT WALKER



Scott Walker is clearly a man with a lot going on. You only need listen to his music to spot his depth and emotion. There was a documentary about him last night -interesting, but not very revealing. I felt none the wiser about the man, but quite a lot wiser to his music. I didn't realise the extent of his avant garde streak. He's one of those musicians/artists who will forever be shrouded in mystery until he dies, at which point biographers will shed a lot more light. It's not nice to wish people dead (and I don't wish Scott Walker dead) but it's the only way the public will ever find out what makes him tick.
