You're half-right I reckon.I think Lynch is a lot like David Byrne. They're both unaffectedly eccentric. So, they probably consider themselves pretty normal, which kind of add to how odd their work is.
You must have seen eraserhead. Surely there's no way a fake could have made that, it's genuinely askew.
Edit: and Mulholland Drive.

i have a higher opinion of david byrne.i've seen eraserhead a few times - it is askew but also seems very self-conscious. on its own it stands up all right, but after seeing elephant man and blue velvet it falls apart a bit. i think lynch's themes are less personality disorder (as he likes to affect, or his fans like to pretend) and more "look how daring i am!" attention grabbery.
byrne seems more engaged, more genuinely interested in exploring and less worried about reactions. beyond 3 or 4 great albums, he's gone on to do so much that has been well out of the public eye, particularly the mass media public. i think his legacy will be much greater.

I saw David Byrne perform in a tiny venue in Princeton.It was the best gig I ever saw, or ever hope to see. It was fucking transcendent.
