saw this last night. finally. very sad. it is sad to see how many lives he has ruined, or severely damaged. mental illness is a motherfucker.
I remember in 1992, the Univ of Houston student program Board set up a daniel johnston concert. I was a member, and got to set up for him and meet him and his handlers. at the time we did not know that he ahd gone off his meds, which as stated in the m,ovie he did surreptitiously before gigs so he would be looser, and he played theshow and it was crazy and then I escorted him downstairs with the ghandlers from the austin mental hospital, and I met his mom. the next week we got word that that night of the U of H show, he snuck out of the hotel and ended up in Florida 3 days later.
we 3were all like whoah....
