''I want to record new albums..''' You never got to my man, but you touched so many people with the records you already had made. You were and are an sure inspiration to me as a musician - may you enjoy you peace R.I.P Daniel Johnston
The tremors he had back then were probably a side-effect from the anti-psychotic medication he was using at the time. Since then the pharmaceutical companies have developed antipsychotics with less side-effects.
@@AneTorine96as years go by they will keep getting better. Daniel was born in that Goldilocks window between the trans orbital Lobotomy and the present, improved meds.
Tipped me out that he mentioned Dylan. He's usually just militantly Beatles. He seems to have been doing really well mentally in his last year's great guy
Yeah, that really rubbed me the wrong way as well. I'm bipolar as well and it makes me sad and angry when people assume those who have it are intellectually mpaired or something
I think he was just trying to be nice, I don’t think he thought Daniel is stupid it’s just that Daniel is different and deserves more kindness and consideration then those of us who have a hardened shell
I’m pretty sure that Daniel is just trying to be nice, he’s not a fan of mainstream artists but he doesn’t want to tell anybody that or why lol the Beatles are truly the only main stream artists that compare to himself, and as self-absorbed as Daniel was he truly was the best songwriter ever, because he’s only one person and his body of work is almost as impressive as the Beatles which were 4 geniuses
I don't wanna sound insensitive but how come his speech is slurred and he seems half-there. I know that he has bipolar disorder but I'm unsure how that would contribute to his voice. Or is that just how he speaks?
I've seen other interviews and it almost looks like he has Parkinson's disease due to tremors. It's mad how medication that's supposed to help has such adverse side effects. I guess it's a small price to pay for something as brutal as schizophrenia. I once read that when in a two-seated plane with his father, he hallucinated that he saw Casper the ghost and threw the aeroplane keys out of the window so his father had to crash land the plane. Not sure if that's entirely true but I guess the side effects of the medication could be considered a small setback.

This is wonderful. It looks like he's in a good place, especially compared to 5-10 years ago. Great interview
What a beautiful human being
God bless Daniel Johnston. In spite of everything, he was compelled for whatever reason to put something beautiful into the world, and he has.
Im not a holy man, but i do believe certain people are placed on earth just to do some heart healing. This guy was an angel.
"Don't let the sun go down on your grievances"
I'll never forget that song.
This is one of the best interviews with Daniel, he looked so comfortable.
What a loss. I loved Daniel.
RIP :(
I love him. Such a sweetheart.
I love him so much! I am SO glad to live at the same time as him.
Good to see the tremors have subsided.
Hey I started making my own music, check it out and let me know what you think, thanks

I love you Daniel 4 ever.
He was in his 50's and looked 75. Those meds are no pushover, fucking disgrace 😢 god bless his soul, beautiful person.
Not to mention his poor voice. I miss his crystalline voice from his '20s.
He looks better
Lovely interview!! Great Job Jason.
Tipped me out that he mentioned Dylan. He's usually just militantly Beatles. He seems to have been doing really well mentally in his last year's great guy
i wonder if he ever got to record after he finished touring. You can tell music was his life
It's good to see Danny doing a little better
I love you Daniel ❤️
JohnsTon. How does he get his name wrong?
They all did that. Don't know why. (Even Narduwar.)
Wonderful interview. Thank you.
The interviewer should consider not talking to him like a 5-year old. He's mentally ill not stupid.
Yeah, that really rubbed me the wrong way as well. I'm bipolar as well and it makes me sad and angry when people assume those who have it are intellectually mpaired or something

Oddly satisfying Daniel is a vinyl apologist.
RIP homie
This makes me sad that he never got to watch "get back"

War movie.

Narciscynic He takes a medication to control his schizophrenia which affects his motor skills. Idk he doesn't speak like this in other interviews

Narciscynic That's true. In the documentary "The Devil and Daniel Johnston," his father tells this story.
Iv heard that some A-hole, assaulted him, which left him with a brain injury, but that’s what iv heard
He always had a lisp, but he lost some teeth by this point too.
