Daniel Johnston - "Funeral Home" mid-80s!

Legendary Austin videographer Tim Hamblin produced this sparse, haunting video early in Dan's public career. A rare look at his formative early days as a singer-songwriter.

@blefusku So weird -- at the freeze point you suggested, I thought Dan looked just like actor Paul Dooley as grumpy Mr. Schwab in the "O.C. & Stiggs" movie. And lo, I found this vid with an opening shot of Dooley looking EXACTLY like Daniel does these days, from his "pop-belly" all the way down to his choice of headwear!!! See the youtube video catalogued as: watch?v=ouJ2g7s04E0] (if that don't work search under "mimosa promo Dooley")-- notdan (aka 1b2s)

@dudemandingo11

why you coming off like Daniel Johnston said he was the best thing since Jesus ate out Mary Magdalen? He never did. It was US WE said it. WE the people who appreciate someone who plays with their HEART and not just their fingers and yea your comment is a year old I'm just checking if you're still alive...if you are...die soon MKAY!?
