"Speeding Motorcycle"

a trailer for the independent film "the devil and daniel johnston" More interesting Daniel trivia; * In addition to music and art, Johnston has also made a number of short films. * He refused to sign with Elektra Records because during a psychotic phase of his illness accompanied by religious preoccupation, he claimed one of their bands, Metallica, were under the control of Satan. Interestingly, Johnston used a passage of Metallica lyrics in the song "Melody" on the Lucky Sperms collaboration with Jad Fair and Chris Bultman. * Was with Jad Fair when arrested for drawing the Jesus fish inside the Statue of Liberty. * Is often compared to mentally ill musicians Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys, Syd Barrett and Wesley Willis. * Suffers from Type 2 diabetes mellitus. * In December 2005 Johnston's song, "McDonald's on the brain", was published in (translated) Hebrew in Maayan Magazine for poetry and art. * Often performs with fellow Waller residents Jason and Bridget Nightmare (husband and wife) as "Danny and the Nightmares". * His song "Casper the Friendly Ghost" was used in Larry Clark's Kids. Note:He does write good songs. Proven by the versions recorded by other artists. Listening to his versions can be a little disturbing yet always emotional. "True Love Will Find You In The End" is a top favorite of mine.
