Betwixt Lunacy And Genius
There seems to be an interesting documentary about the bipolar rockhero Daniel Johnston. The movie by Jeff Feuerzeig is called "The Devil and Daniel Johnston" and already won two awards at the 2005 Sundance festival. Check out the website for clips and interesting tidbits such as this one:
Daniel worked at McDonalds in Austin Texas. The legend is that Daniel would put his home made cassettes in the French Fry sacks of pretty girls and Austin hipsters who looked like musicians. These people would open their sack and get a surprise. He was the ultimate song plugger and word spread very fast around town about this amazing kid - his songs were instantly being covered by all the Austin musicians. He literally is Mcdonald's most famous employee.
