Danny and I were friends 35 years ago. I remember this picture on his wall at home. His Mom liked to read western novels and his Dad had a picture of him with the Flying Tigers. His Dad never spoke much. His mom would make us lunch and we would hang out in the basement. I played my guitar and he played his piano. He would draw the craziest things, but we loved it. We awere all his fans as kids. I figured his art would make him famous.
@@dongoede2207 No, Danny and I never wrote a song together that I can remember, We did play a lot of things in his basement that he recorded. The last time I saw him he told me he still had the tapes of us. I was planning on visiting him as I wanted to hear them, but sadly he passed.
I watched the documentary twice in the past week. I want to say that I feel for his parents. Yes, his mom should have NEVER yelled like she did and demeaned Daniel. No excuses. But I do understand her position. His parents were not equipped to deal with his genius, or his issues. They are good people. They got taught a hard lesson, and they came out with the knowledge that the world is not what they thought it was. I hope all three are resting in the heaven of their dreams.
My God, this guy is AMAZING. I have not yet heard a single one of his songs that I don't love. And I doubt that I ever will. This is what music is really about.
I like to see him happy. He went through a lot of stuff so this is heartwarming

amen brother!!!!
I love this song
Daniel Johnston is the soulman with this song. &:-)
His last line: "I'm so happy", made me sad. Because Daniel sounded as he wasn't really happy😢
Thanks so much for the upload & sharing a gift of such a great song to the world.
What a really rocking-roll catchy tune. Feel so happy to of found it!! &:-)
Big chune right hear
I can't help laughing every time at the end "i'm so happy" :D

Very much in the style of Jonathan Richman..
@mn8n Haha Yes. Though, I laugh and then get a lump in my throat.. it's cool it's cool.. just the expression of my happy soul I guess
