Anyone here know about the musician Daniel Johnston? A friend recently showed him to me. He is this crazy songwriter dude that is mentally ill. His story is interesting and there is just something about him that attracts you in even though his music is simple as hell. Daniel's old recordings are masterpieces in my opinion. Ever since about 1990, he has looked like Don Vito and now sounds like shit. I guess you could blame that on the mental hospital stays. That kind of sucks but check him out.
