Daniel Johnston

I'm not a massive music fan but found something really interesting about this blokes music. Made world wide famous by Kurt Cobain wearing a T-shirt of his. Has died aged 58.

Tom Waits’ cover of Johnston’s King Kong was included on Waits’ magnificent Orphans set.

Not anything to do with him but the protaganist seems rather like him and has similar songs.
