Daniel Johnston appreciation thread

[yoladu 4114]

Hearing the Daniel Johnston song ""The Story of an Artist" in those Apple ads during the World Cup has totally got me on a Daniel Johnston bender as of late.

I hope he made a good amount of change from the ad. If anyone deserves it, it is him.

One of my favs from from the  Respect cassette.

Got into him after looking him up from the Ad.  Sad story.

I pissed next to him at the Continental Club at around 9 AM on a Saturday morning during SXSW. /csb

An old bandmate and Chronicle columnist was a good friend of his.  I ended up backing him up on a gig once, which was weird as all get out.  Imagine Daniel + a semi-genius dude who is probably on a spectrum somewhere trying to converge on some semblance of a set list.
