PALEFACE On Friend & Mentor Daniel Johnston, RIP

Paleface talks about how dear friend & mentor, underground music icon, Daniel Johnston (RIP), influenced him & impacted his life. If you don't know of Daniel Johnston, you might have heard one of his songs in a 2018 Apple commercial. In the 90's, Kurt Cobain wore a Daniel Johnston t-shirt featuring "the frog" drawing, which you can also see on Daniel's letter to Paleface on this video. Daniel's music has been covered by many, including Pearl Jam, Wilco, The Flaming Lips, Lana DelRey, and Beck, who calls Paleface "a major influence" and discovered Daniel Johnston's music through him. Daniel and Paleface had a genuine love & respect for each other, and I know that PF really cherishes the memories of their times together, specially the week that Daniel stayed with PF at his apt in NYC’s East Village after Daniel had some “complications” while recording with Steve Shelley. You can also learn more about Daniel Johnston's music, art and struggles with mental health via the documentary "The Devil And Daniel Johnston". Rest in peace, Daniel Johnston.
