I bought his first album on vinyl a couple of years ago, I like it a lot.

That documentary: the Devil and Daniel Johnston is one of the best music-documentaries I've ever seen.

"Well, you reached out to me too, David, and I'd be more than happy to fill Bgas's shoes. You don't need him anyway - some of us have the same items in our collections as he does and we're also much better writers. Spoiled brat....."
-Mikie

"in this online beach boy community, I've found that you're either correct or corrected. Which in my mind is all in good fun to show ones knowledge of their favorite band."- punkinhead

I like some Daniel Johnston. Though i think if he weren't mentally ill, he wouldn't get 10% the credit he gets as a songwriter. Nothing like being crazy to pique people's attention and spur their imaginations. That's when they start tossing the word genius around.

I thought The Devil and Daniel Johnston was a good movie but it was sad/funny when his parents were like "We read Brian Wilson's (of The Beach Boys) autobiography so we could learn what not to do in raising and caring for our mentally ill son!" Also, I don't know if Johnston is quite better than Brian Wilson but I guess I'm a little biased, after all! He certainly has the same endearing Love You qualities though at times, that's for sure...
