@moondogmonologue It's Tardive dyskinesia; a difficult-to-treat form of dyskinesia (disorder resulting in involuntary, repetitive body movements) that can be tardive (having a slow or belated onset). It frequently appears after long-term or high-dose use of antipsychotic drugs,Poor Danny's suffered so much & yet his creativity prevails.
Daniel Johnston, one of the few humans in this small world that has since the day of his birth been a vessel of pure love and joy. He is like the amplification system of gods heart, there to translate to us in wonderful sound how great it is to be alive.
maybe his singing isn't top-notch. but, as funny as this seems, music ain't really about how anything sounds, really. Daniel's music is the window into the soul of a man who feels pain from times past as if he were drowning in it.
He probably isnt bi-polar. He suffers from manic depressive disorder. He most likely is shaking as a side-effect from medication. And lastly not least, you can all go fuck yourselves.
Thank you for posting. As a musician and fan, it is so good to see Daniel doing so well. It gives me courage to keep trying to perform, hell, all I had to overcome was opiate addiction, this man has real problems and keeps trodding on. GOD bless DJ, and bless you.
@diemalibu So many people love Daniel, maybe not on huge scale of Lady Gaga but his music touches the hearts of people on a more profound level I think.More cerebral. He prioritizes the artistic integrity of his music as oppose to obsessing about the commercial... the finance.Those who love him REALLY love him. Die-hard fans, like you, me and all the others: many of us artists ourselves so we appreciate his compassion and empathy--the strong human-connection is there.Lady Gaga has her merits.
@denisethepainter When I said "Not on huge scale"I meant number-wise, not the intensity of the love fro the fans. i believe Daniel's fans really love him and his music a lot.I think Lady Gaga's heart is in the right place tho after hearing of her spearheading the campaign against bullying, so I respect her a lot for that., tho I am not a big die-hard fan of her music.It's not without merit tho-totally different genre and audience
<3 i love Daniel. He seems a bit fragile here but his sound is right on. This is such an intense an sincere song. His music touches my heart.

It led to a bunch of other things, that eventually resulted in him shaking uncontrollably.
