I was first introduced to Daniel Johnston's music four years ago when I lived in Los Angeles, taking my inaugural listen to Johnston’s 1994 release, Fun, while crashing on a buddy’s couch. One of my best friends had recently passed away and the song “Life in Vain” brought me a much needed sense of comfort at that moment in my life. I have since reserved a special place in my heart for that title and the unlikely rock star who composed it.
