We leave you this week dear reader with an achingly beautiful song by Daniel Johnston who died earlier this week following a heart attack. He was troubled but exceptional – as Jeff Tweedy said: “Daniel has managed to create in spite of his mental illness, not because of it. He’s been honest in his portrayal of what he’s been struggling with without overtly drawing attention to it.” True love found him in the end in the form of tributes which have been pouring in since the news of his passing was announced. RIP to another great artist whose loss will be felt keenly.
