Johnston has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder ^[1]. His songs are often called "painfully direct," and tend to display a blend of childlike naïveté with darker, "spooky" themes. Johnston's earliest recordings present him singing in a high register. However, throughout the nineties his voice acquired a new character and tone and an altogether different style of delivery and diction. This may have been inspired by a mixture of the damage done by smoking, tooth loss and medication prescribed to control his disorder. His performances often seem faltering or uncertain; one critic writes that Johnston's recordings range from "spotty to brilliant."^[2] For other uses, see Bipolar. ...

Johnston began recording what he thought of as John Lennon- and Beatles-inspired music in the late 1970s on a $59 Sanyo monaural Boombox, singing and playing piano and chord organ. He gave tapes of his music to anyone who would take them and created the comic book-inspired art that usually accompanied his recordings.

His early songs established a number of themes that would persist through Johnston's career: unrequited love, Casper the Friendly Ghost, and comic book superheroes, especially Captain America and Jack Kirby's other works. Many of Johnston's songs and art reveal a propensity to proselytize for his conception of Christianity, warning about the devil, and a fixation on the number 9.

Johnston spent his first year away from home at Abilene Christian University, where his bipolar disorder became more evident and problematic. He then left West Texas and attended the East Liverpool branch of Kent State University, which was closer to his hometown. Many of Johnston's songs throughout the years have dealt with his unrequited love for a woman named Laurie Allen. For Johnston, Laurie quickly assumed the role of the idealized female muse. When she married an undertaker, Johnston felt prompted to write lyrics in which the Laurie figure becomes strongly associated with the imagery of death in addition to her original role as a muse. Laurie Allen has since divorced and filmmaker Jeff Feuerzeig arranged a meeting between Allen and Johnston, which is documented in a special feature on the DVD of The Devil and Daniel Johnston.

Music career

His songs have been covered by more than 150 artists worldwide. This article does not discuss cultist groups, personality cults, or cult in its original sense of religious practice.

In 1990, he played at South By Southwest, a music festival in Austin, Texas. On the way back to West Virginia on a small, private plane piloted by his father, Johnston had a manic episode and wrestled control of the plane away from his father, removing the key from the ignition and throwing it out of the plane. His father, a World War II fighter pilot, managed to successfully crash-land the plane in a wooded area. Although the plane was destroyed, Johnston and his father emerged unharmed. As a result of this episode, Johnston was involuntarily committed to a mental hospital.

His disorder also cost him a contract with Elektra Records.

But he refused to sign with the label during a psychotic phase accompanied by religious preoccupation, claiming one of Elektra's bands, Metallica, was under the control of Satan.

Art career

In 1993, Johnston painted a mural of the "Hi, How Are You?" frog, also known as Jeremiah the Innocent after the Three Dog Night song, on the side of the Austin Sound Exchange music store. The site was converted into a Baja Fresh franchise in 2004. Although initial plans called for the mural to be torn down, public outcry persuaded restaurant owner John Oudt to let the mural stay, at a price of $50,000 in additional costs and lost revenue. The Baja Fresh has since closed and the space has remained vacant for several months as of July 2007.
