Speeding Motorcycle

i get so sick of people talking about daniel johnston being "unpolished" i mean really, you don't get a nickname like "the godfather of lo-fi" with overproduced garbage

great lyrics. the Yo la Tengo cover is pretty great, as it is more "polished" than Johnston's version, but retains his lyrics, in my opinion his greatest asset. "We can do a lot of tricks We don't have to break our necks To get our kicks" i like that part

Daniel Johnston lost his mind in Texas, bought a moped and went cruising around the state while he left his family behind. He wrote this song about his trip

I think of all of Daniel's songs this is the one that could have possibly had success on the radio. It's so simple and fucking catchy.
