I wish I could create "local" radio this strong. Intriguing subject, well written and told equally well through a mix of conversational narrative and audio.

This piece should appeal to music fans as well as those who simply like to study human behavior. The feature, for me, was as much about how we react to art and other people as much as it was about Daniel's musical creations.

Is Daniel Johnston a gifted and troubled artist or a calculating self-promoter or both? Those questions remained long after the piece ended and I thank David for not force-feeding me an answer.

As far as stories go, this one is bizarre, amusing, heartfelt, tragic and, most importantly, unique and interesting.
