which one's done more drugs?
which one's been up more women's arses?
which one delved more into the dark arse of man while all the morons
wood-stuck?
which one's more the left bank twit and which one's more the sinatra
fuck-up?
would you prefer any of these two to taken a pill to many rather than
nick drake?
which one saw more bergman pics in his life?
would you let your daughter go out with either?

Is he related to Jerry Jeff Walker? His song "Who Knows the Wind" with
Circus Maximus is one of my all time favorites.

Nein. His real name (though he may have legally changed it over the
years . . . who can tell with that guy) is Noel Scott Engel. He
recorded under the name Scotty Engel when he was working the teen idol
racket in the late 50s (doing guest shots on Eddie Fisher's show and
recording semi-souped-up Rodgers & Hammerstein crap from 'Flower Drum
Song'). In the mid 60s he hooked up with a couple of Sunset Strip
denizens (neither of whom were named Walker) and they put an act
together calling themselves The Walker Brothers. Didn't have any hits
until they got to the UK; whereupon they were as big as it gets
(Beatle-type big) . . . for about 10 minutes. It was over by '67.

They may have only been "big" for 10 minutes, but here it is 41 years later
and I still remember the song.
Now can anyone help me try to remember a movie?
I only saw the end, I *think* Sean Penn was in it, but what I remember most
was the use of the old Jefferson Airplane song "Coming Back to Me".
Very haunting.

They're both brilliant, but Walker's bad records are worse than
Dylan's bad records. Do the math.

Probably Dylan. Scott Walker would have ended up like Brian Wilson or
Syd Barrett if he consumed vast quantities of chemicals.
Booze might be another story, however.

Impossible (not to mention unappetizing) to determine, but The Walker
Brothers were getting major league, Beatles-caliber groupie action
across the globe for a while, so my guess would be the composer of
'Plastic Palace People'.

Walker. His music at times is some of the most depressing anyone has
ever recorded.

Dylan was the Rimbaud wannabe for a time; Walker more the Sinatra
manque (although he claims his chief influence as a singer has
been . . . God help us . . . Jack Jones).

No. But Walker may yet go that route (albeit deliberately) if 'The
Drift' was any indicator.
> which one saw more bergman pics in his life?

Probably the composer of "Montague Terrace in Blue'. In fact, I think
he's the only pop singer I've heard of who's a hardcore cinephile
(which should explain everything right there).

Are you kidding? Those two old goats? I'd sooner have my daughter take
up with Justin Timberlake . . . or 50 Cent.

"Comin' Back to Me" has been used in at least four films:
The Indian Runner (1991)
Without Limits (1998)
Girl, Interrupted (1999)
Moonlight Mile (2002)
Perhaps one of these rings a bell?

Wow, thanks for the info!
I used IMDB.com and it must have been "The Indian Runner", which was written
and directed by Sean Penn.
I knew he had something to do with it!
Thanks again!

Wasn't it also in Flashback, another Dennis Hopper movie?
That movie either had that song or the one before it on the
Surrealistic Pillow album.
Dr. Robert
I do! He's of The Walker Brothers - "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore,"
etc. At least two charted hits in the US in the 60's.
They were from LA and went to the UK to make it (like PJ Proby). They
stayed in the UK and Scott is still working there.
Best,

Here I am thinking all these years it was Jerry Jeff Walker doing the
vocals!
Thanks for clarifying things.

The Indian Runner is one of my favorite movies, and the use of the
song "Comin' Back To Me" couldn't have been put to better use.

I never read as many compliments about Bob Dylan as I have Scott Walker.
