Oscar Kightley.
Just listened to an interview with him on Radio NZ.
Osacr is basically an autodidact and for a writer he seems to have an aversion to using a dictionary.
He does not know the difference between culture and society.
What is the scientific import of deoxyribonucleic acid.
Its not just a word invented for advertising agencies.
Or the the difference between an immigrant and an ex-pat.
One is seeking work and the other has a job to go to.
These words have specific meanings besides the uses that the ignorant and the uneducated use to generate emotional responses in an unsuspecting populace.
Do some real research Oscar and become a better writer whenyou really know what you are talking about.
dig?

A fella came in the other night to show what he could do

He thought that he'd be clever so he painted his pants with glue

And there never was a bronco that never could be rode
