Daniel Johnston: The Rock Opera
Posted by at 12:45 PM
The production is named after Johnston’s 1983 album, Speeding Motorcycle. I just hope he gets some royalties—seems like alot of folks are releasing tributes and documentaries, but the guy is living pretty lean, financially-speaking. Read more about the opera here. Via Pitchfork.
On a related note, when I interviewed Johnston for the paper a few years ago, he sent us artwork to use for the cover, which we paid him for. Granted, that ain’t much, but I thought it was nice.

daniel (and ibp) received a grant to create the piece: daniel got money up front for it. hopefully other theaters will produce it later and he'll receive royalties from those productions.
