I have jumped on the wagon

Marc and I watched a couple movies Friday night. We were flipping through the On-Demand shows and there was a preview for 'The Devil and Daniel Johnston'--

"a multitalented man, a compulsively prolific cartoon artist, song writer and performer, whose bipolar disorder and drug abuse led to episodes of severe mental illness and destructive behaviors, beginning in his early 20s, in the 1980s, problems that stifled his career for many years, until consistent psychiatric care and kindly parental oversight effected a more stable course for him more recently. Now approaching age 45, Johnston has made a comeback of sorts, reaching a level of artistic self control and productivity that has swept him toward unprecedented recognition" (thanks IMDB).

Marc and I both agree that his voice is horrible. But his lyrics are fun and his story is even better (sad but interesting). Yeah Daniel Johnston!
