If anything could drag either of these two legends out of their self imposed exiles a one off prime time TV show where both artists showcase each others songs would be peak viewing.If all went well it may snowball into a small series of gigs
which would sell out quicker than any other.
Picture it now bowie comes on from one side of the stage, walker the other, as they both launch into the classic 'Wild Is The Wind' both giving it their all as a stunned audience..........

I'd settle for seeing "Scott Walker: 30 Century Man," which I had to miss due to a sudden illness. By next day both illness and movie were gone.

One magical movement from Kether to Melkuth.

The idea sounds wonderful Mr Newton.

Of course, it`ll never happen, cos of Walkers absolute fear of live performance, which is a bloody shame.
The Scott Walker shows last year at the Barbican were stunning events, even without Scott himself on stage, but it would be a complete joy to watch/listen to him sing some of his more conventional songs. The voice arrangements and subject matters would lend themselves to an almost religous happening.
The nearest, and most successful exponent of such an event, for me, has been David Sylvian, who cuts from the same cloth artistically.
In this sense, i think, of the three, Bowie is the weaker artist.
My opinion only, of course

Love On.

On January 8th, 1997, BBC Radio 1 broadcast a special hour (called ChangesOneBowie) of exclusive semi-acoustic performances (recorded in New York) of classic Bowie tracks together with best wishes for Bowie from other musicians.

SW: Hello David, this is Scott Walker. I'm coming to you via a very old crappy hand held tape machine. I hope it's alright. I'm gonna be a devil today and not ask you any question. I'm certain that among the many messages, there'll be those about that you always embrace the new, and how you freed so many artists and this is of course true. Like everyone else I'd like to thank you for all the years, especially for your generosity in spirit when it comes to other artists. I've been the beneficiary on more than one occasion let me tell you. So have a wonderful birthday, and by the way, mine's the day after yours so I'll have a drink to you on the other side of midnight. How's that?

DB: (sigh). (pause). Well.. (silence) that's.. I've just seen God in the window

I: He's the boss isn't he. You've absolutely got to love him

DB: He got to me there I'm afraid. I think he's probably been my idol since I was a kid. That's very moving. I wanna copy of that

I: You can have it

DB: I'm absolutely.. that's really thrown me. Thank you very much.
