Daniel Johnston was an American singer-songwriter. He was troubled by mental
health issues for much of his career, but was an important influence on many
acts like Sonic Youth and the Butthole Surfers and most notably Nirvana's Kurt
Cobain, who wore a t-shirt with the cover of Johnston's album 'Hi, How Are You'
at the 1992 MTV awards.
He was much admired for his reflections on life and love in simple songs such as
'Life in Vain', 'True Love Will Find You in the End' and 'Walking the Cow.'
Johnston was born in Sacramento, but later moved West Virginia and then Austin,
