Never interview Daniel Johnston when he is digging through a stack of Beatles records is the lesson here

Daniel's top 3 artists: 1. Later Beatles 2. Early Beatles 3. Middle stage Beatles

Don't disturb a man when he's digging for vinyl

Dan is a punk rocker

RIP Danny. Beatlesque 'till the end.

He knows exactly what he's doing here. It's the same thing as what Bob Dylan would often do as interviewers would always try to pigeonhole him and label him, so he would fuck with them and sidestep their questions and assumptions on purpose all while wearing a little smirk on his face.

Dude, he's hilarious. Why would anyone consider him crazy? I love his music so much!

I love this..Daniel's taking the piss and they don't get it. The biggest things in the guy's life are comic books and records..so if he's looking through Beatle records maybe you should WAIT till he's done??

,The 5th BEATLE, Daniel Johnston

I think he's hoping she'll leave him alone so he can shop. He doesn't really care for the interview. They were wasting his time so he gladly wasted theirs. Funny stuff.

the guy must have some kind of record...saying the word: "Beatles" in ONE interview the most times...just brilliant.

if it wasn't for THE BEATLES! a genius like this would never of made great music thank you John,Paul,George,Ringo and Daniel.

One of the funniest pieces of Daniel footage I've ever seen. Had me cracking up the whole time.

LOL! Daniel Johnston is awesome! I love this guy. He has the best sense of humor

He's a genius.

Best interview ever.

My love of Daniel Johnston was influenced by THE BEE-TUHLS!!!

Everyone on that crew is callous, opportunistic, and graceless. The guy at the end, right behind Daniel: “we’ll maybe get 10 seconds from that.” Only caring about the commercial viability of the footage, not the artist, which is why the whole team is terrible.

Well Dan always was hilarious. He always used that to help him cope with his thoughts.

Umm...best interview ever? FUCK YEAH!!!

best interview ever? i think so. THE BEATLES!

i lOOOVE DAN'S TROOOOLIN RIGHT HERE LOL!

the beatles ! i love you dan... you are a beautiful human being

I think he realised halfway through that he was being rude and felt bad about it. His attitude changes towards the end for the better and he seems almost apologetic, which is just as well because I thought he came off pretty bad to begin with. I guess maybe he was in a bad mood and didn't feel like talking to anyone.

Leave the man alone goddammit

i love him saying 'reministic' of the beatles, what a clever bit of word improvisation...

He's doing the old Ed Sullivan introduction right? "THE BEATLES!".

He's hilarious.

He was fucking smart, he knew what he was doing

I love his enthusiasm :)

THE BEATLES!

I love you Daniel

Everytime he says THE BEATLES I laugh I love this guy

I was diagnosed with bipolar people say I'm crazy but this guy influence me and I would of done the same as Daniel same as I like Jeffrey Lewis I seen him 10 times and I collect stuff and people say to me why do u ask like a child and live your own world well why not if you see something in my collection of record I wanna be left alone tbh I don't like the beatles

The people saying this interview is stupid and the questions are insulting, needs to think about the fact that there's new generations that need to be turned on to D.Johnstons music, therefore they ask him questions that (to you hardcore-fans) might seem a bit "simple". If people like Johnston's music, perhaps they'd be interested in knowing where he got it from, for researching purposes. Besides, it doesn't seem like Johnston is having a hard time talking about The Beatles in this interview

I'm a huge fan of the Beatles!!!

This reminds me of a Greg Popovic interview with Daniel's short responses

anyone here who speaks whatever language they are saying should post a translation because I think that they might be talkin shit on Daniel Johnston aight thanks peace out

JAJAJAJAJ , thats right im so tired of your questions SO THE BEATLESSSSSS!!!!

this is my favorute

this shit made me laugh so hard... Daniel won this... or the beatles won this...im not sure... THE BEATLES!

The answer to nine of ten questions that you may ask about anything is: * * * (wait for it) * * * THE BEATLES !!

He's the man

He actually buys copies of them too, like parodys made in the sixties.

THE BEEEETLEZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Danny liked the Beatles

Shes anoying . So thats why he acted this way

it's me or at 1:01 he said something like "i don't want to talk...or turn"? so probably they would not have had to interview him if he did not want.

Dan was the 5th Beatle!🎼🧡

He just wanted them to end that shit. Lmfao what a hero

Music remenistic of The Beatles.

hmmm I wonder who he listened to the most

those guys where kind of rude and stupid ,daniel was great xD the beatlezzzzzzz

but he's making fun of them too in return, so that's even I guess

do you think he like the Beatles??

BEETOLZ!

...someone should've tryed to help him quit smoking and lose weight, he'd've still been here today.

thebeatled nah. what makes you say that?

Great questions huh? imagine they ask it to you... would you answer differently? "Could you start telling me a bit of your musical background" Euhm... No Sir? "did they influence alot of your music?" DUH =O

Hehe. He´s brilliant.

sweden yeahj!!

its called an interview you know you supposed to aske rude and absurd questions

@mynge i read your comment as he was saying that.

i don't understand why you make light of him through the interview....

typical lou reed interview from the 70s

What if he was just a drunk?

the sweds are talking about how open he is. they´re wondering how open he his..asking each other well yeah.. kinda fun if you know swedish

not the best interview i've seen with him... :-)

Noo... Sometimes. I have.

Daniel is so messing with this interviewer, and she doesn't really seem to get it.

beatleesque lol

jaja its a fukin genius

Vilka puckon till intervjuare!!

hahahahahahahaha good dam he took her for all she was worth. pretty much just the beatles

I was influenced by Johnny Cash but nobody cares.

He had mental illnesses, why people have to blame the girl? She is doing her job.

This must be the most akward interview ever...

how do you describe your own music? Beatle-esche. haha

"Beatlesque"

Haha. I guess they didn't get what they wanted out of that interview.

"how would you describe your own music" is probably the stupidest and most insulting question ever. "tell us about your music"... ugghhhh... disgusting.

greeaaat Fuckin Beeatleees!

you were BORING him

qué de preguntas salames! what a bunch of idiot questions! if i had the opportunity of crossing the atlantic and meeting this genius, i would ask him millions of questions.. or at least i´d prefer the silence, if all i got to say is ´where did you start making music?` `who is your influence?`oh come on.. but didnt you guys consider the chance of studying a little bit before coming to meet him? of course he is laughing at you. nuts as he is and all. he´s been laughing at us all of his life.

es mala y no saben nada del tipo, evidentemente. just like the JUXTAPOZ magazine (oohh, for fine artists, of course.. they gave johnston like 3 pages, he wasnt even on the cover of that issue! hahha, its amazing, any cute fashioned tattoist is considered up there as greater artist than him!!). in that magazine, they titled the interview: "D. Johnston makes it big.. AND DOESNT EVEN KNOW IT".. lo qué?!they really think he doesnt realize anything??!! i mean.. no comments, man! periodismo idiota.

Lol

pretty bad interview. with all respect, eh. una garching, fiera.

She was an awful interviewer, didn’t have the fact to handle him at all, that’s why he was acting up

stupid stupid questions!

not great questions

Eey svenskar

these comments make no sense... how are the interviewers being rude to him.... there not at all

this is the worst interview ever. this is just a classic fan who doesn't know who daniel johnston is.

THE BEATLES!
