Tonight in Rock in LA - Daniel Johnston, Deezil Zappa, Brave Combo, Mandy Moore, Mighty 690


Daniel Johnston at SXSW, 3/07

He's probably best known for his "Hi How Are You" tshirt that Kurt Cobain often wore, but if you don't know Daniel Johnston's music you're really missing out and you should definitely pick up the award-winning DVD, "The Devil and Daniel Johnston". Equally amateurish and darkly genius, Johnston's tunes lie somewhere between Brian Wilson and Wesley Willis while being heavily influenced by the Beatles: Daniel Johnston @ Henry Fonda

wow....i just got back from the show tonight.
he is pure talent. treated us to an amazing show and a very funny joke. :)

This is going to be pedantic, I guess, but so be it.
The name of the tour is Zappa Plays Zappa.

The phrase you gave does not lend itself well to the perverted youth of America.
Or maybe it's too well. Subjectivity.
