“Do yourself a favor, become your own savior.”
The 2005 documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnston truly is the story of an artist. Johnston was a cult icon whose DIY ethic and career became stuff of legends in the modern indie rock scene. He’s been championed and even covered by the likes of Beck, Tom Waits, Sonic Youth, Wilco, Nirvana, Fugazi, and many more. But even though he’s been often tagged as a musician’s musician, struggles with manic depression and schizophrenia often prevented him from finding the mainstream success many thought was deserved.
On this episode of Remainders, Darren and Patrick explore the creative process of an artist, and dive into their own practice with the art of creation.
