  • What a man! That illness really is hell, yet he keeps on keepin' on. And is creative in the midst of such hardship!

    It's very fitting that the Natl. Alliance on Mental Illness had him as their guest of honor this year.

    (Wish the audio were a little bit clearer.)

  • Thank you for posting this video. I just watched the dvd this past weekend and Mr. Ayers has an awesome story.

  • God is good!

  • @heroDEREK I absolutely agree, after watching the movie, i thought this man would be absolutely different, but in fact, he is actually just like anybody on the street, just more unique, more talented!

  • I think the movie portrayed him as a very different person. The movie makes it seem as if he was very dumb, but to be honest he looks very normal.

  • one worth.. GENIUS!
