WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Thank God I'm not a Genius/Daniel Johnston

Posted over 2 years ago
Just checked out the doc "The Devil and Daniel Johnston." Not being very hip, I had no idea who he wass, though now I'm just glad he was never my roommate.Excellent doc. in about everyway, but my favorite part was when the music journalist was talking about how all the artists and creative people who always longed to experience genius wound up thinking that the best thing to do was lock this genius away so they could get on with their lives.Me, I'm off to whistle with mediocrity in the sauna...

  2. thill says i often think i am a little crazy and it is nice to be reassured that in no way am i batshit balls to the wall crazy. i really liked the movie too. i thought a great documentary could have been made about the guy who even when D. Johnston was in the nuthouse was sending out his tapes and then Johnston screwed over. yep maybe it is ok to just have a touch of the ol' melancholia.
