Musical artist
Daniel Dale Johnston (January 22, 1961 – c.
September 11, 2019) was an American singer, musician and artist regarded as a significant figure in outsider, lo-fi, and alternative music scenes.[2][3] Most of his work consisted of cassettes recorded alone in his home,[6] and his music was frequently cited for its "pure" and "childlike" qualities.[7]
Johnston spent extended periods in psychiatric institutions[6] and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.[8][2] He garnered a local following in the 1980s by passing out tapes of his music while working at a McDonald's in Dobie Center in Austin, Texas.[9][10] His cult status was propelled when Nirvana's Kurt Cobain was seen wearing a T-shirt that featured the artpiece "Jeremiah the Innocent"[11] fr
