Default The Devil and Daniel Johnston

I saw the other half of this movie tonight...very interesting. Daniel is bipolar and he has documented his life very well with video, pictures, drawings etc. He gets off his meds a lot because he thinks he is better at the artistic things he does.

Thanks Curly,

Here is a trailer from the 2005 movie:
the devil and daniel johnston
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qtFPOxDMs4

Here is a song: "Going Down"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk8CmH7RhP8
Quote:
I think of all the times
I felt so low
When I got to feeling better
I got naive
and thought that it would stay

Going down
Going down again

M.

He's still alive, living with his parents in Texas. He still tours...many people think he's more brilliant than Bob Dillon, Kurt Cobain, John Lennon etc.

It's one of those deals where the words aren't disturbing enough to get a fanbase...so you get off the meds and get more disturbed so the words will be more disturbing.

I hope I'm not disturbing anyone

Curly,

I appreciate that you posted about him.

I think musicians / artists sometimes try to tow a line between sanity and creativity. Their gifted power drives them in ways that regular people are not driven . . . . and thus have different rules than the rest of us.

If I went off my meds, my creativity would not improve because I don't have much to start with.
