I did a post on Lost Highway on Channillo over the weekend. It's called "Lost Highway – Where David Lynch Took a New Creative Turn" focusing on the identity issue in the movie and the turn it gave to Lynch's nior/mystery films. Looking at your point on Mystery Man's presence in two places I think it also hints at the inter-connected worlds of the divided self/identity. In one world, he is with Fred and in the other at Pete's house and Fred is Pete so the two worlds are connected in Fred's consciousness at that moment. I am coming to think that Los Highway is even more intense and surreal than Mulholland Drive.
