Re: Daniel Johnston Dead at 58
Indeed unique. I have only heard a few of his songs and never know whether I like of dislike them, but they are really their own thing. I read a bit about his back story and would like to see the documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnston.
Re: Daniel Johnston Dead at 58
I would highly recommend the documentary, but be warned it feels a little icky/intrusive at times and can be easily construed as exploitative. Very interesting character.

He was everything to my dad what AMF was to me... a bunch of obsessive compulsive asshole matter compiling its favourite records and bawling to its favarate{sic} lyrics and nothing else. He was no saint. And no point. Life is climbing. Life is fart. Better accept it now than dead.
