Thanks for posting these wonderful videos, but why are all the beginnings cut off?

where i as sat wasnt the best place to take vids. Not really an allowed concept with security.

I've known Daniel Johnston since 1986. I've always thought he was talented, despite his personal problems. Watching him in this video, it's clear that he's not in the best of health. Yet, his talent still emerges beautifully.

Outward beauty is always temporary. Inward beauty always lasts.

Just 'discovered' Daniel tonight after hearing the Eels cover of this (I'm a big Eels fan). Daniel's original is amazing. Looking forward to listening to more from him.

Man... Daniel Johnston is the best songwriter ever... By far. Dylan or Lennon/McCartney can lick his balls

Living Life is my favorite song by anyone.

But I think it sounds better with a piano, it's more chaotic and the emotional peaks are more intense. Here it feels like he tried to copy Eels cover of his own song by mimicking their pace. Every cover I've heard of it is amazing though.

Special Presentation About Music: If you want to listen to music that differs from the direction that mainstream music is going in, check out my channel. If you like what's on the radio, that's cool but I'm probably not for you. I don't dislike what's out today, I'm just trying to do my own thing and see if people can dig it. The songs I have on youtube are mostly acoustic, but if you wanna hear my electric stuff, you can look me up on myspace too.

@poughkeepsiejohn -I don't know him, (im only 14) but judging from his interviews and songs, he seems to be a very sweet and nice man at heart, I wish I could see him live and meet him, something about him just pulls at ur heart, even though today is my first day of listening to him.

@rikmomentary As Daniel may or may not put it, he has "kicked Satan out." (From the documentary about him.)

When I see him shaking, I think 2 things. ONE: it's so sad that he was once young and relatively healthy, now he's getting older, and has various mental illnesses; everything good must come towards an end. TWO: Despite his age, mental state, and everything else, he still has so much heart, soul, and conviction, and yet he's still "living life." When I reach his age, I hope to feel that way as well. Excuse my language, but it's like a big "FUCK YOU" to Father Time, and maybe even Death himself.
