Songs of Pain continued, with more charmingly insular Outsider DIY
from Mom's basement, hammered out on an old upright piano. There's a
Daniel Johnston in all of us,and his work can be a portal for that.Purge
yourself of all self-pity, and ask yourself why you don't lock yourself
in a basement churning out endless hours of naively self-analytical
ditties. Maybe its because you are 'Normal' and not a bi-polar
schizophrenic, so pull yourself together and thank Satan you're not
Daniel Johnston.

Wicked! This guy is fascinatingly weird!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing all those glorious jewels from this deranged angel!
My pleasure?
One has noticed thatthere's a lot of Daniel johnston traffic of late....where are you coming from? That is what link did you follow...i'm curious.
Whoops.....just googled him and found out that he's just died. The John Lennon/Elvis syndrome....they only wanna listen after they're gone.
haha, it may seem like that. Just a superficial facination. But not for me. Yes, I came to know about him because of his death, through a post on Instagram. I'm not much of a sane person myself. And I have not felt good for a long time. Finding his music has been balsamic. I felt heavily identified. The voice stopped for a moment and I could breath.
I felt relieved to have discovered him in such circumstances; death is freedom in my opinion.
