Docs are my favorite things to watch. The Devil and Daniel Johnston is a must see.
I never really submitted to the Daniel Johnston phenomena. I always thought that people liked his songs because Kurt Cobain wore the t shirt. I was wrong. So many great artists cover this guy's music for a reason. It's good, raw, and most importantly honest. This clip is not from the doc but i thought it was pretty cool. If you don't know who Daniel Johnston is, this video will just seem like a socially awkward slob shopping for VHS tapes. (well, i guess it still is kinda)

From Wikipedia: He refused to sign a multi-album deal with Elektra Records because Metallica was on the label's roster and he was convinced that they were possessed by Satan and would hurt him. He also dropped his manager who brokered the deal, because Johnston believed he too was possessed by Satan.
Awesome.
