Group Think: The phenomenon of being afraid to try new things, or not understanding something different from the norm. And individual engaged in this is threatened by things unlike the pre-packaged reality he is used to.
Cult of Personality: Happens when people judge someone by their personality or fake exterior rather than their true self of ability. People who follow this thinking have trouble seeing true talent or meaning in a person if they dont fit pop culture standards. CONT.
Foolish: You. For having such poor taste in music. Unlike Tom Waits, Beck, Half Japanese, and over 150 other great artists who have covered Daniel Johnston's work. Unless you believe they all are just riding his coat tails to success. Him being so successfull and well known of course LOL!
Fad: Something that comes and goes....when applied to music, generally means something disposable and without lasting merit. The opposite of the music of Daniel Johnston
Daniel walks a fine line between incredible and --um , just not so nice sounding. This one I haven't made up my mind about. The crowd and band seem to be having a great time though!
He obviously has a few screws loose but many "artists" do. I'm not saying that anytime anybody is crazy, they make beautiful art & Daniel has plenty of junk in this catalog of music but every once in awhile, he'll write a real special on - sometimes absolutely amazing.
the only reason people think he is crazy is because he is different, and because he makes different music. so if he wasn't "crazy" would he even make music? if he wasn't who he is he wouldn't make this music. your question is illogical.
Of course, like my brother said, remember how you didn't like beer until one day all of a sudden it just clicked and your like "WOW! this is great!" well the same goes for Daniel Johnston, it may take a while, but one day you'll go "WOW! He's a genius!"
@Sabored - Well, I'll never like beer or alcohol, as I've never felt any desire to have them to begin with. Maybe that's why I liked Daniel from day one. ;)
if you've got one stuck in your head, i would suggest you look up 'casper the friendly ghost,' 'devil town,' 'i had lost my mind,' or maybe 'true love will find you in the end.'
well, they did release a single in '61 as the backing band of a Mr Tony Sheridan, called 'My Bonnie'that was quite successful. I'm guessing Daniel is referring to that! he ain't no slouch.....
I think this guy is great. I hope he gets his hoouse across the street. He's amazing. I've been lookin for A D.J. song forever and I can't get teh melody out my head but I forgot the name of teh song or the album it came from ffs.
