The Devil and Daniel Johnston

Last night we watched The Devil and Daniel Johnston. Actually, I watched and John fidgeted, got a snack, then went on the computer. I, on the other hand, was riveted. Really, to watch his mind unravel from beginning to end felt like I was a spectator to a life that is really none of my business. I scrapped none of my business and went with spectator and came away fascinated, saddened and confused. And, although I will likely never race out to buy his music, I watched with the feeling that most of us have lost the freedom to be artistically unrestrained.
