In 1981, Cope compiled and released 'Fire Escape in the Sky: The Godlike Genius of Scott Walker', which reintroduced Walker to a post-punk audience and helped reposition him as a cult, avant-garde figure!\n\nScott Walker released \"The Old Man's Back Again (Dedicated to the Neo-Stalinist Regime)\" on the 1969 album Scott 4, his fifth solo album. The song's title and content refers to the 1968 Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia.\n\nWalker died March 22, 2019 at age 76 - just a day over 7 years ago.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
