Twins or Doppelgangers?
A remarkable phenomenon was brought to my attention not so very long ago. A friend was working on a dissertation on British novelist Martin Amis, and I noticed from a picture that he bore an uncanny resemblance to Nick Cave (Amis, not my friend). Same permanent expression of disdain, same long face, same greasy, slicked-back hair. Observe:
The only conclusion is that they are the same person (and may occasionally turn into Neil Young too). Amis is Cave's senior by a good 9 years, so presumably Cave is a second personality that he developed after a while. Really, it's not that surprising; how many outspoken and controversial chroniclers of the postmodern condition can there be?
