Check out some Glass Eye music from the late 80s/90s as well as her solo work that Amanda refers to. I haven't seen the Devil and Daniel Johnson movie yet, but I'm glad it doesn't suck.

I'm wondering why the hell I didn't know he was from West Virginia until I saw the movie. (I grew up in WV.) It's probably because we're such a cultural backwater that unless you've appeared in a blockbuster or on the teevee, you may as well not exist (celebrity-wise). The local paper kept us in-the-know about Jennifer Garner's marital status and baby bump, but I had no idea the dude from that Kurt Cobain t-shirt was a West Virginian. I've seen that mental hospital he stayed in in Weston, WV, which is now a National Historic Landmark, and it's a beautiful building. Anyway, loved the movie and I plan to buy the DVD.

It was awesome. Daniel was there, and he had a freakout when they brought his long lost crush up on stage. I did see him play that night at Maggie May's though. It was great.

REMISS! I loved the portrayal of the Wild West Austin days of the mid-80s, about a half-decade before I showed up on the scene and brought everybody down. You can also see a small representation in the bonus material for the Criterion Collection edition of Slacker, which has a 15-minute movie on Woodshock (a small rural music festival) filmed by Richard Linklater in 1985. I have a small capsule review of Devil/Daniel Johnston <a href="http://norbizness.com/archives/002094.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> (#2). I too was surprised by the marriage twist at the end; at least I now understand her comment name. Remiss! REMISS!

I think, THINK, I sent you some Johnston MP3s, but if I was remiss, I apologize. Kathy also does the most lovely cover of “Walking the Cow” I’ve ever heard.
