Daniel Johnston Interview with Public Access

[spunkeyproducts]

This Man is soo inspiring to me.

[67675656565655656565]

doesnt seem as retarded in this interview as other interviews he s done

[Saxmeal2001]

@67675656565655656565 Cunt.

[adamshuttle]

@67675656565655656565 why do i see you on the comments if every daniel johnston interview giving him shit. get a fucking life.

[awad420]

"SEND ME MONEY" XD love it lol

[Ilovemyfender2]

Ahaha I love his laugh.

[PetriSoul]

Ugh, that stupid girl is making me sick. Seriously, they couldn't find someone better to conduct the interview?

[iHaveAnger]

I got nervous when she said he had a cult following and he asked "like devil worshippers?" Thought he was gonna freak out like he did back in the late 80's haha

[lloplop]

whats the deal with the basket?

[alifeofarcticsounds]

STOP SAYING "FOLKS"

[larrysmoreland]

i agree i dont believe she listens to daniel johnstons music

[SuperJewbot]

the shaking is most definitely from medication. lithium probably or any number of antipsychotics will do that

[theguybelowmesuxbig]

@SuperJewbot I'm going to start on lithium I hope I don't shake like that.

[zedapastilha]

why is he shaking like that????

[0sirhc9]

@zedapastilha It is probably the medication.

[muahahaha101]

"more than 100% of what they filmed they didn't even use" Wow, he's the only person I can think of who could say that and still sound like a geniouse

[fourges1]

100% of what they filmed they didn't use.

[QuarterFaceCreations]

i hate seeing him shake like that

[imasuperbeaver]

"You'll see him if you see him."

[ElysiumsGuitar]

The interviewing is actually pretty poor, but I'm so grateful to hear more of him beyond the music.

[adampomp]

Dan needs Gonja in his life. I hear its good for the shakes...and everything else too.

[DisembowelMe]

@adampomp Yeah, might be. But I'm not sure it's good for all mental illnesses, I remember reading about some of them that can be actually made worse with "gonja", if I know what you're talking about, heeh.

[SuperSquishface]

@adampomp

After what happened to him after using it, I think it's for the best he stays away from it...

[jcgamer107]

"Occult, like Devil-worshipers?" Lol probably shouldn't tell Daniel Johnston he has a "cult following".

[jcgamer107]

Joking aside though it seems like he's doing a lot better mentally which is really great.

[toiseywoisey]

Hey it's Captain Kangaroo!

[21dandandan12]

I'm so glad he said what he said of the documentary. A lot of people seem to think of him as a "crazy person" and they tend to underrate his intelligence and in turn they don't really appreciate him or his music. but i think with that statement he kind of let everyone know that he is aware of whats going on and he's not stupid.

[xGoodleShoesx]

Lawls! I love how he interrupts her. That's kay, we love him. =]

[seign]

What's with that bucket he's holding? Kind of looks like a Devo hat.

[mrtruthify]

He seems more sane and at least alive and animated than the living dead girl who is practically holding herself throughout the interview.. she might benefit from a few benzos....

[bullzena]

I love how he just kept cutting off the chick that was interviewing him. lol gotta love dj<3

[everettmckee]

"You'll see him if you see him." Daniel Johnston is freaking great.

[86dovic]

I'm sure Daniel nailed that lady after the interview.

[seapockets]

"more than 100% of the film they didn't even use"

only the dan man could get away with saying this.

[sydbarrett5]

Agreed. And in a way it makes total sense.

[mur3453]

Not tardive dyskinesia looks more like akathesia- side effect of psych-meds

[cheaynivva]

He has tardive dyskinesia, not parkinsons.

[CakeAndPasta]

I thought he was gonna say "and don't forget to forgive and forget."

[jacobladders]

yeah robgeorge87 i was wondering about that myself sucks though feel for the guy

[henrysvg]

"more than 100 percent of what they filmed they didn't use!"

[kiforcekhan]

SEND ME MONEY - BEEEP (rainbow screen) XD

[robgeorge87]

the interviewer is a dickhead.

does danny have parkinsons?

[itsmetyler]

Don't forget to have a good time, thanks

[lloplop]

the money is there.

[fukwhatyaheard]

he's so great. i love him.

[TheMarbleIndex3000]

this interviewer doesnt know anything about him haha.

[lloplop]

she mentioned watching the documentary, so I am not sure how you could make that statement. She is asks certain questions so that the viewer will know things if they don't know DJ. it is not that she doesnt know. i mean, come on

[brbwatchingwillow]

Good interview.

[IAMRICKASTLEY]

god bless that man

[cashc0w]

GREAT

[friskystapler]

that girl is attractive

[Kilivor]

Etxo trizas

[vannnhe]

Dollarbob: Get a life!!!!

Daniel is an artist

[RadicalNotion]

you are a piece of shit. now you get a life.

[robbiechachere]

It's so nice to see Daniel happy.

[bigrixx]

i like when he burps mid-speech

[glitchesandglitter]

that's what john lennon said... lol

[FunBoy15]

his self promotion is genius. just give free tapes to cute girls. haha. gotta try that

[wannabeangusyoung]

why's his hand shaking so much?

[nathancrumb]

Meds.

[shit311]

gimme moneyyyyy lol

[claudiofiloxxx]

Es un genio!

[usernamessuck4412]

I think it takes a selected taste to appreciate and enjoy his music... It just doesn't do anything for me.

Does anyone know why he gained so much weight?? Cause it's a drastic gain compared to when he was younger... He looks so different...

[proficee]

i would guess its due to meds my mate did the same after being started on meds fior schizophrenia

[goshox21]

prolly the meds. im bipolar i gained a lot of weight in college.

[Sokret666]

Are you really stupid enough to think the only way to be happy is having a car and a wife? What an asshole. And yes, he's crazy. Just like any artist that's worth listening to.

[RadicalNotion]

hey idiot..that was a song lyric written by dollarbob..not a comment. do not take it so literally. the message of the lyric is some people wallow in their mental illness and dreadful lives and mistakenly think they are artists. it is about being real.

[Aleister77newaccount]

those are song lyrics...why did you take them so literally. don't you see how he was being facetious. those are daniel johnston lyrics...he is talking about himself and how people think you need those things for a happy life. fuck, you are retarded and just trying to pick fights on youtube or what??? LOSERBITCH!

[EatMyVegetables]

Well aren't you just the biggest ass hole on youtube? Congratulations.

[Aleister77newaccount]

you remind me of the pot calling the kettle an asshole. those lyrics written by dollarbob kicked ass btw.

[FunBoy15]

could of been the extended periods of time where he did very little due to depression. no going outside, sleeping a lot. depending on a persons metabolism they will gain weight during these periods and sometimes it doesn't come off. mental illness ravages not only a persons mind but their body too.

[Dollarbob]

thanks Dr. phil...i mean dr. phag.

[Brosenbrose]

i love him and feel bad to hear how badly in need of money he is. but he was so talented... he wrote and sang his heart out on those early tapes... his music is genius.

[idontgiveaFUQ]

i mean, he can't be all that hard up for money if he just bought 500 dollars worth of comic books...

[lloplop]

he just explained he has half a million dollars and he had a house designed and built for him!

[Kartashka]

i feel sorry for him kind of, all these people just keep juicing him and juicing him

[estoyrelocojaja]

feel sorry? ahaha you are an asshole

[estoyrelocojaja]

he understood that world thtat is far beyond of all the materia, and i am sure that he will have his reward in the mental world far beyond all the doctors and people like all of you could say

[dreDREb13]

Daniel seems to be doing a lot better for himself. Good for him. He's an artistic and musical genius.

[tacomagraphy]

ahh! I went to the seattle show, I should have interviewed him instead!

I would be soooo excited

[runnersdialzero33]

He seems pretty happy here - I'm glad he's doing well, or as well as he can be.

[FirstTheyIgnoreYou]

There should be more musicians like him!

[JBHutto]

Never will be.

[safetosaydontquoteme]

it's because no one can be underground/famous anymore... there's WAY too many bands, it just doesn't work because labels sign anyone now.

[xniffyx]

the interviewer seems kind of uncomfortable.

that aside, Daniel Johnston is amazing.

[BabbaOriely]

that girl needs to hold the mic closer to her mouth

[nikolak29]

that girl talking has absolutely no idea of what kind of a legend she is sitting next to.

[mcparham]

what the fuck? legend? he couldn't play a christian soft rock chord progression..he is a mentally ill person, stop propping his music up to make yourself feel cool cuz you listen to it..

[lmosco]

yeh truesay. hes just a sweet lil spastic having a crack at making music, no way near a legend

[Traductus5972]

dude he's only bipolar and just cuz he's an outsider musician doesn't just denounce him from being a legend. He was a huge influence on kurt cobane, that's what i condier legendary.

[pukeonmyshoe2130]

lol you spelled kurt cobain rong, but ya i agree with you, iv just started listaning to his music a couple weeks ago and this guy is genius,he also was a huge influence on the butthole surfers

[anycolouryouwant]

you spelt wrong wrong and you and i've and listening

[santa555666999]

Why would you correct someone's grammar??

FAG

[anycolouryouwant]

because he was correcting someone else on their spelling whist spelling badly himself... and don't use the word fag it makes you sound like a homophobic twit

[Manusturbo]

They hung out, but Daniel Johnston and the Butthole Surfers had nothing in common musically.

[mofoCutThroat]

@pukeonmyshoe2130

Kurdt spelled his own name wrong a lot. I think it's in good taste to spell his name wrong every chance we get.

[lmosco]

thats because shes a normal person and doesnt listen to shit

[axemahn]

@nikolak29 not a genius you hipster, two good songs and a great movie.

[nikolak29]

@axemahn hey, FUCK. YOU. Axemahn. go suck a fat dick.

Where the hell are YOUR "two good songs and a great movie" ?? huh bitch? thats what i thought...you hipster piece of garbage.

[awad420]

@axemahn YEAH!!! FUCK U MAN! eat a dick and all that good stuff... but wtf are you talking about 2 good songs? are you mentally ill?

[shandiinn]

i love daniel johnston..

[nolanpotter1]

Hahahaa. He's really funny.

[Jo111Ware]

I really hope that Daniel has a good doctor, and that he takes his meds and medical advice. Getting off of the Mountain Dew would probably help lessen his shaking, which would then help his music, which is what is important to him. People with bipolar disorder don't understand that they are sick, and for his so-called "fans" or anyone to encourage him to lay-off the meds for "artistic" reasons is, at the very least unethical and irresponsible. He can still make great work as a healthy person.

[SnarfBanks]

Fuck Meds. They probably made his condition worse.

[ryanmiera]

While he may not be a genius, he's a GREAT FUCKING SONG WRITER!!!! so FUCK YOU

[johnhawley123]

"More that 100% of what they filmed they didn't use" thats means they didn't use any of it

[nolanpotter1]

yeah umm exaggeration.

[chrish12345]

wot that song right at the end???????? (in the last few secs) - not at the start.

[publicaccessmedia]

It is called 'Nothing Left' from the It's Spooky album

[alecbathgate]

He's not a genius. He's a human being who went through a long period of serious delusion. He endangered the lives of the people who now and always have ensured his welfare. If he appeals to your emotions through his vulnerability and child-like outlook on the world , this is no reason to consider him to be a genius. He's still talking about things that happened to him over 20 years ago and he's probably struggling to do it at that. It's sad and depressing to see a human being suffer like that.

[kr3wd1228]

do YOU have half a million dollars just from making music?

?

[undisputedgreatest]

So what, retards like listening to retards, that doesn't make it good. His music is garbage, and if you like it, you're either lying or retarded. He is obviously fucked up (except he has great taste in comics.)

[nolanpotter1]

that's pretty rude, man. Keep that kind of insensitivity to yourself.

[undisputedgreatest]

No, you keep that kind of shit to yourself motherfucker. You are a freedom hating Commie. "Don't say things you feel, on no, someone might disagree." Suck a dick.

[nolanpotter1]

Yeah except you didn't state how you felt. You could say, "I dislike his music" and I'd be like, okay, to each man's own. You said it's garbage. that's not true. Musically it it is good. it's a fact that his music is not bad. and I happen to like it. Your daughter's ugly, you bitch.

[undisputedgreatest]

Wow, another dumbass that can't decipher what an opinion is. Shut the fuck up. I don't have a don't, fuckhole. But if I did, she'd have my beauty genes, and be gorgeous, especially when compared to a hideous C.H.U.D. Monkey-Ass like you.

[nolanpotter1]

alright. fuck this. i'm done. you win.

but, you just said, "I don't have a don't..."

so uh alright. fuck you. fuck your sister. fuck your mom. fuck your dad. You're an ugly ass bitch and you need some education.

P.S.

opinion - a personal view, attitude, or appraisal.

Saying something is garbage when it's not is a false fact.

peace, bro. You don't need to reply to this, I won't be reading it, anyway.

[gdkeen]

hey...your response to whoever that was IS GARBAGE, and that's a fact. my unsolicited personal opinion/perspective is that daniel johnston was a better songwriter than artist. by the way, if you have a mother/dad/sister, i've got no animosity towards them. just you.

[nolanpotter1]

I usually don't go to insulting one's family until they carry something out and make whatever it is that's being argued personal. But I know that it was silly unnecessary. Whatever though. Not many youtube comments should be taken seriously. But mocking me in ways that take my quotes out of context is a little silly and unnecessary, too. So, I don't know. You're pretty good at making me feel like an ass. good job.

Now, I agree with you but songwriting is half of music, not only what you hear.

[nolanpotter1]

Now looking at undisputedgreatest's page, it looks like he's a 'racist prick' so he probably deserves what it was that I told him. I probably saw his page before saying anything to him those months ago, when I posted.

[nolanpotter1]

and for a third thing to say to you, read what he said to me. I'm done, now.

[kkxanta]

Com´on you gotta be kidding me.If somebody can make a song and instead a ramshackle guitar,sort of weird voice and awful recordings that song is great,and he do it once and over again that man gotta be a genius.Because that man is capable to hear and compose music trough his own limitations whatever that could be.If you can´t hear the music trough the noise then maybe you should listen the cover versions.He is a GREAT composer,there´s no doubt of it.Tom Waits make two covers of DJ by the way.

[Randallforchrist]

I think he shakes because he had a stroke not too long before this.

[420allday69]

i always thought that it was from nerviosness

[kukoskarsson]

hehe I thought it was some kind of compolsive disorder

[pockets666]

Does he actually suffer from parkinsons or is he shaking from nerves? Great interview.

[prodigalsounds]

its from years of being on the wrong medication.

[Karmalize]

more than 100% that they filmed they didn't even use, that's so true about documentaries (i'm glad no one said 'literally')

[las798]

More than 100% they didn't use?

So they published NEGA-time?

[chanel9105]

Great Interview! Thanks.

[fredwesticles]

aww man i love this guy.

[colacentral]

Good to see him doing well.

[simonpenum]

A cult? you mean Satan worshippers?

[ImSuperKewl]

I'd JUST LIKE TO TELL YOU UM THANKS A LOT FOR LISTENIN, AND UMMM DON'T FORGET TO HAVE A GOOD TIME....thanks.

[jossyisjoss]

I love this.

But I think if your gonna moan about the mentally ill go moan someplace less public.

x

[fibbleboof]

amazing

[kitoomoto]

Yeah anyone who thinks money is the answer to all their ills is clearly mad. its obvious to me this individual needs a lot of care and should be in a mental institution. If he was black he would have been either in jail, killed or drugged up in an asylum.

[WhiskeyyWoman]

Welsey Willis was a schizo, and nobody did anything to him and look at O.J. and R.Kelly. Nobody put those fuckers in jail.

[shaunbingham]

if you took a minute and watched the documentary about him (The Devil and Daniel Johnston) that they talk about in this interview, he was in jail and in a mental institution multiple times. He is a genius and it's great to see him doing as well as he is doing.

[fadsyt]

daniel looks pretty darn good here!

[anitasseo]

you did it well, girl ;)

i really love daniel and would absolutely marry him.

cheers;;//

[crowbartotheface]

i love him

[MoiDeCoentro]

what's up with the bukkit?

[chrish12345]

Its only a bucket, get over it, surely the music is more valuable than a bucket, be it red, blue, fat or small.

[willywonka091]

good interviewer! probably one of the best johnston interviews on youtube.

[chrish12345]

that aint sayin much, theres only about 3

[ModestMousekateer]

That's a good point, and I don't really see why you got the thumbs down. But I guess it's that people might have thought of this as a negative comment about Daniel, who, btw, is awesome.

[madnell]

lookin' good danny! 

what's in the bowl, there.. popcorn?

[stevenranger]

good old daniel, keep on smiling big guy!

[closetome]

thanking you

[chrish12345]

half a millionaire lol, cool

[TommyShanterNOW]

Daniel Johnston forever!!!!!

[cigaberetta]

i want to send him a picture

[aabelow]

so funny how he keeps interrupting her

[mrfish60035]

great interview! thanks!
