Mud Songs

The Devil and Daniel Johnston is a documentary about a mentally unbalanced guy who can’t play or sing worth a damn, but is a brilliant songwriter. His music may be hard to take (I wouldn’t want to listen to him sing for more than 5 minutes), but the film is a well-told story of the relationship between creativity and mental illness.
