	Devil and Daniel Johnston, The (2006): Reviews
		One thing not open to question is that the real heroes of this movie are Johnston's family, particularly his aging parents, who for all their heartbreak are palpably full of love and forbearance for their disturbed and, yes, talented boy.
		The Devil and Daniel Johnston is a well enough done film, and benefits greatly from archival film from various sources, but ultimately is somewhat difficult to appreciate if you are not a manic music fan of some sort.
		Daniel Johnston is exposed through personal audio and video footage he and others took of him, pieces of his live performances, and interviews with his parents, friends, family and other musicians that know him.

	Splendid: Features: Daniel Johnston
		Daniel Johnston: When I got into the Beatles, I was 19 years old, and it really set me going with the songs, because the music seemed to simplify the idea of songwriting in my mind and inspired me. I really got going more strongly than ever.
		Daniel Johnston: I think people that do interpretations of my songs are welcome to sing them as they like, and they sound all right to me. The songs on the album sound pretty good.
		Daniel Johnston: Well, they're ones that they chose, the record company, but there's a lot of good singing there and, as I was saying, a lot of ones that I liked a lot.

	Music: Genius of Love: The Continuing Story of Daniel Johnston
		As ever, for Johnston, that monarch is the crowd, which waits patiently for him to begin; they are the judge and jury waiting to hear his defense-- his music-- and they're fervently hoping to deliver the verdict that Johnston is guilty of genius in the first degree.
		Daniel Johnston was born in 1961 to William and Mabel Johnston, a devoutly God-fearing, down-to-earth, and fastidiously old-fashioned couple who could never in a million years have guessed what an unusual, gifted, and often downright frustrating package the stork had dropped at their doorstep that fine January morning.
		As Daniel continued marching forward in the face of adversity, it soon became clear that it was the senior female of the Johnston clan who was to be his harshest critic.

	Slant Magazine - The Enigma of Daniel Johnston: An Interview with Jeff Feuerzeig and Henry Rosenthal
		Daniel phoned in from the hospital and he put on this elaborate performance with his two cassette decks and it truly was much, much scarier than the Orson Welles War of the Worlds.
		Daniel interviewed himself in multiple voices, Daniel's obsession with fame came out, his obsession with the devil…it was all there.
		The opening line of the film is "I'm the ghost of Daniel Johnston." To me, Daniel Johnston is an enigma, and the film is a portrait of a living ghost, and it's a journey through madness and creativity, whether you like the music or not.

	RLM: Daniel Johnston
		Daniel Johnston: Yip / Jump Music (1983) -- Daniel is a pretty good piano player (as evidenced on Songs of Pain and More Songs of Pain), but when he ended up having to stay at his brother's house in Texas, he had to leave the piano.
		So even though the album is Daniel banging away at the organ (apparently slapping it was the best way to get a sound of it) while recording with a regular tape recorder, the songs are remarkably full with lyrics and melodies that are extremely catchy and touching.
		Daniel Johnston and Jad Fair: Spooky (1989) -- This is Daniel Johnston recording with Jad Fair, the two of their voices sounding so alike you can't really tell them apart.

	Pitchfork Feature: Making Plans for Daniel (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Daniel mentions one part in particular, a song he sings about Mountain Dew: "I don't remember doing that at all." It turns out that the recording in question comes from a period when he was institutionalized.
		Daniel, for his part, is just as professional, happily shaking hands, saying his thanks, introducing everyone to his brother.
		Daniel, in fact, seems less affected by the atmosphere we've stepped into than I am-- "big night" though I knew this was, I hadn't anticipated that it would be arty, wealthy, and exclusive enough to leave me feeling like a bit of a yokel.

	PIXELSURGEON \| Reviews \| Movies \| The Devil and Daniel Johnston
		Daniel Johnston is an enigmatic legend: a folk artist and outsider musician whom Kurt Cobain considered one of the greatest living songwriters, but who also suffered from a debilitating and delusional bi-polar condition that regularly spun him out of control and into mental institutions across America.
		Johnston had many brushes with fame, but it seems he was forever destined to be dragged back down by his illness.
		Johnston claimed the devil was responsible, as he was on his way out of the building when she jumped.

	The History of Rock Music. Daniel Johnston: history, discography, reviews, links
		Daniel Johnston was a living legend of the underground throughout the 1980s, before he was "discovered" and launched world-wide, despite two arrests (1986 and 1988) and a mental disease.
		Johnston was clearly a prolific and gifted songwriter and composer of melodies; an eloquent and, in his own way, elegant bard who was not afraid of making fun of the world in a way that, ultimately, makes fun of the prankster himself.
		Daniel Johnston's career was revitalized by Sparklehorse's Mark Linkous, whose arrangements (and Alan Weatherhead's) helped Fear Yourself (Gammon, 2003) become one of Johnston's most accomplished, eclectic and eccentric albums ever.

	village voice > film > The Devil And Daniel Johnston: American Cult Idol: Documenting Daniel Johnston by Jessica Winter
		The Devil and Daniel Johnston steers a confident course through this minefield: The titular artist and singer-songwriter's raw genius and cult recognition don't conquer his demons so much as they collaborate, negotiate, and brawl with them.
		Johnston's outbursts and breakdowns subverted his success, caused his loved ones untold anguish, and, of course, bolstered his legend.
		The Devil and Daniel Johnston could have closed on a triumphant note—Johnston onstage, fascinating his public—but the film's candid, clear-eyed humanism can be gleaned by who in the story gets the last word.

	Amazon.com: The Devil and Daniel Johnston: DVD: Daniel Johnston,Jeff Tartakov,Louis Black,Matt Groening,Mabel ... (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Daniel Johnston is widely known as one of the great untutored songwriters in America, extremely raw and unsophisticated while compelling and original at the same time.
		Daniel fired Jeff at the cusp of a lucrative record deal (Elektra and Atlantic were in a bidding war), and Daniel concluded that Elektra was "demonic" because Metallica was on their label.
		Johnston's tale needed to be released to anyone interested in his music (even indirectly, as he has influenced countless popular musicians), in mental illness, or even in a good story with classic, tragic themes.

	Daniel Johnston - Modern Day Musical Genius - Associated Content
		Daniel Johnston is the subject of a new documentary entitled "The Devil and Daniel Johnston."
		Johnston grew up in Austin, Texas, living in his parents’ basement and working at menial low-paying jobs (his favorite job ever was when he worked at McDonalds).
		Johnston was a sensitive man whose life was filled with personal anguish and it is this anguish that found its way into so many of his songs: feelings of alienation and rejection, a weary contemplation of all the evil in the world and the bitter pangs of unrequited love.

	Attn: Daniel Johnston fans - Beastie Boys Message Board
		Johnston's performance brought him almost overnight acclaim, and he went from local legend to national cult figure.
		Sadly, Johnston's behavior wasn't helping, and he was institutionalized twice in the late '80s after his refusal to take medication led to two dangerous episodes.
		Daniel's not the kind of artist where I can sit and listen to album after album of his stuff, but when he's on, there's this unabashed, horrifying brilliance thing going on.

	TrouserPress.com :: Daniel Johnston
		Between institutional stays for manic depression, pop savant Daniel Johnston has recorded a vast and remarkable body of inimitably ingenuous songs, using whatever resources were at hand: a dinky cassette machine or a 48- track studio, playing piano or guitar and singing in a boyishly vulnerable tremble.
		Johnston might not top the short list of rock'n'rollers least likely to be invited into the corporate boardroom, but he's definitely up there.
		Not too surprisingly, Johnston's fragile music wilts in an atmosphere of orderly organization, pristine sound and occasionally ambitious arrangements ("Life in Vain," "Happy Time" and "Lousy Weekend," which employ strings, are the exceptions to an otherwise spare instrumental rule).

	The Devil and Daniel Johnston - The Filthy Critic
		Daniel Johnston, a lonely, nutjob singer-songwriter who made a splash on the college radio scene in the 80s is a lucky son of a bitch.
		The Devil and Daniel Johnston is a documentary about the singer that follows him from his teen years, through his time of underground fame and on to his current fat, confused middle age.
		If Johnston is a misunderstood genius, the movie doesn't convince me. Instead, it shows that he's a cartoonist not quite as weird as Henry Darger, but also obsessed with a narrow range of confused and simple imagery that would look cool on a Pee-chee.
