This guy has had an incredible life. His songs have been covered by bands like Nirvana and his artwork has been in high demand for years. To say the least this guy is a living legend in Austin and thats just a few reasons why they made a documentary about him. Here is his wiki article.

*save because the music is brilliant and this sounds like an awesome film.

If you're distracted by Johnston's limited voice, check out the tribute CD "The Late Great Daniel Johnston: Discovered Covered (Disc 1 : The Covers)". The whole CD (as well as almost everything Johnston put out) is available at eMusic. There are some lovely songs on it: Guster's cover of "The Sun Shines Down on Me" sounds like a lost Beatles track.

I just noticed you must've raised the queue escape level to 11, eh?

Hmm, this just escaped queue with 10 - guess I was mistaken!

A similar story of an Austin native musician, is that of Roki Erikson, of 13th Floor Elevators fame......eccentric, brilliant, institutionalized
