Devil and Daniel Johnston is really difficult to watch. There are certain times when seeing the darkness in a persons personal life can make you enjoy their work more, or at least put it into some context, but I didnt think that film was worth making apart from people wanting to rubberneck at the difficulties he had/has.
His music; he has a tremendous sense of melody but his singing voice has always been a problem for me. Its one of those that you will either adore or find impossible, and im in the latter camp.
