I woke up this morning and put on the tv and started to watch this documentary about a deeply mentally disturbed musician named Daniel Johnston. He is a songwriter has left an impression on many main stream artists such as Eddie Vedder and Kurt Cobain(only naming a few)
The film is disturbing, I'm not gonna lie. However in the same light, its captivating watching this man's fall into madness. He often refers to the things he does as a battle between "demons" and God. There has been stories told about this writer but not as mainstream as this documentary (which has won awards).
As a matter of fact, he has hit mainstream but not as you would expect. Some of his tshirts are often seen in some movies such as Forgetting Sarah Marshall where Jonah Hill wears the Hi How Are You shirt.
Anyways, if this is on and you have time to kill, definitely check this out it's pretty interesting.
Well, watching this I was waiting for the obiligatory he was found dead somewhere however, Daniel is still alive and doing quite well living across the street from his family's house.
