Re: (TV) Scott Walker (again)



Well said Sam.Hannon is a smug,intensely irritating,mediocre little toe rag
who thinks he's some sort of post-modern musical genius and the natural
successor to Scott.Avoid like the plague.Five years from now no-one will
even remember the wimpy little dipstick..... Yes folks I don't like 'im !

Looks like i'll have to fork out for this new version of "Manchild" too- for
the uninitiated it's the definitive "best of" by the man and you'll probably
end up buying the individual discs soon after."Scott 3" is a personal fave.

PS welcome back Maurice!
