Nose holes

Pow! Pow!
No one

No dupe
No chiming

No needle

glove
Famine is
a tall
tall
tower
a building
left
in the
night
Jesse
are you
listening?
It casts
its ruins
in shadows
under
Memphis
moonlight
Jesse
are you
listening?
Six feet
of
foetus
flung at
sparrows
in the
sky
Put yourself
in my
shoes
A kiss -

A clouded
eye
No stars

Pow! Pow!
In the dream
I am crawling
around on my
hands and knees
smoothing out
the prairie
All the dents
and the gouges
and the winds
dying down
I lower
my head
press my
ear
to the
prairie
Alive
I'm the
only
one
left
alive
I'm the
only
one
left
alive
I'm the
only

Alive
I'm the

I'm the
only

I'm the
only

I love Scott's post-'Nite Flights' work, but a part of me wishes he'd go back to pop just once more. Not necessarily try for a Top 10 single, but just do some songs like "30th Century Man" or his Jacques Brel covers. Imagine if he covered some of the songs done by the A-Listers who showered him with praise in the '30th Century Man' documentary or even just re-worked his old material a la 'Climate of the Hunter'.
If that's absolutely not what he wants to do, fine. It's just a thought.

Absolute Genius.
A true Master.
Centuries from now, they will tremble at the sound of his name.

Genius! Try to imagine what the song is about after I tell you and listen to it again from this perspective... It is the first 2 strums of the song Jailhouse Rock(Elvis Presley) slowed down and that is because it is a song about Elvis and his still-born dead twin brother Jesse. Imagine the horror and sadness of being in the womb as Elvis(Scott is Elvis) and next to you is your dead brother. Scott gave a voice to what Elvis might of felt inside his mothers womb. Elvis never got over this event.

@MrTonyfreeman7 This line of argument is fruitless. In all cases, one can take the germ of one person's art and trace it back to an arguably more innovative predecessor. Hyperbole is endemic in all criticism. To deny Walker any sort of honorary title just because you like someone else better is your problem, not Scott's.
