David Bowie's son.

If only Bowie had given him a name!

YOU probably know him as Zowie.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

Obsession with strange ideas that are not in keeping with the mainstream?

Fascination with violence?

Crazy eclecticism?

Usually on target, but occasionally overreaches in ways that are hard to fathom?

Fondness of wrapping surrealism around otherwise realistic settings to invoke a sort of dissociative dream-like state?

Focused on the interplay of heightened manners with the complete lack of said?

Cronenberg.

As much as I appreciated The Road, imagine Cronenberg's The Road.
