Zane Campbell ...

... [A]n eccentric musician and artist named Zane Campbell.... People talked about a “hillbilly madman,” a punk version of outlaw country-singer-songwriter Billy Joe Shaver and the product of DNA that contained the entire life span of country music. Adding to the mystery, Campbell was a recluse, rarely playing shows and, in fact, rarely leaving his house.
Even the linked article has a hard time nailing this Jell-O to the wall. A well-read tornado, perhaps ... just fractions of an inch away from suicide. He sounds a bit as if he had sprung full grown from an updated version of "Jabberwocky." The article was worth its length, in my book, and Campbell makes me glad to know such people still exist.
