The Real Scott Walker

You may have seen the news out of Wisconsin, where new Republican governor Scott Walker wants to strip the state's public employees union of their collective bargaining rights. Tens of thousands of teachers and municipal workers are protesting at the state capitol at Madison. I can't help but think of that other Scott Walker, that enigmatic singer from the 1960s who briefly was a pop star before disappearing to England. His best-known song is probably "30 Century Man" -- which was featured in Wes Anderson's "Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou."

There was also a documentary about Walker a few years back. Here's the trailer:

I just thought it was important to think about the other Scott Walker on a day when someone else named Scott Walker is making news.
