As alot of people did (in England it seems anyway) I missed out on daniel johnston, and my initial reaction to his music was not a good one.
But a cover by Nina Persons from 'the Cardigans' solo band 'A camp' of the song 'walking the cow' turned me on to his music.
If you can sift through the endless work he has made you might find things you really like, and i love 'somethings last along time', its really a moving song, and seeing the film just adds more emphasis to the lyrics.
But be warned, alot of it is very off the wall and disconnected, and in some cases you cant imagine how this guy ever made anything audible.
Its a clear insight into the troubled mind of Daniel like so many before him, yet there is something so pure and innocent about it all...
