THEATER REVIEW
Daniel Johnston as rock opera
Speeding Motorcycle brings weird Austin vibe to the right Houston stage
By EVERETT EVANS

Speeding Motorcycle should be the cult hit of Houston's summer...   
...It goes without saying that anyone who's ever enjoyed Johnston's work should not miss IBP's exuberant celebration of his unique creativity. For those who've never experienced it, Speeding Motorcycle makes a fascinating introduction.

Teenage Fanclub, Vic Chestnutt, Spiritualized's Jason Pierce, James Yorkston and Howe Gelb will pay tribute to pop savant Daniel Johnston tonight (April 14) in London. The Texas-bred musician will be on hand for the event at the show at Barbican Hall.

Johnston is also slated for an intimate performance on May 4 at Spaceland in Los Angeles, his first show in the city in nearly five years.

"Welcome To My World," a Johnston's first greatest hits compilation, will be released April 18 via his own Eternal Yip Eye Music label. The release includes "Laurie" and "The Lennon Song," tracks that were previously unavailable on CD.

All of the activity comes on the heels of the documentary "The Devil and Daniel Johnston," released into theaters on March 31 through Sony Pictures Classics.

DANIEL JOHNSTON - Clementine Gallery:

Just this side of official outsider art, Johnston's drawings, Super-8 films, and tinkly tunes possess all the naivete and navel-gazing introspection that indie rockers expect from their heroes. And if the gallery guestbook is any indication, they've come in droves, particularly from Johnston's home state of Texas, to pay homage. Sixty drawings, mostly marker and ballpoint pen, executed on the backs of business stationery and in notebooks, display Johnston's lexicon of comic-book heroes and antiheroes. Some are derived from popular sources, like Captain America and Casper the Friendly Ghost.

Others recall R. Crumb and Raymond Pettibon, although next to Johnston and his daffy musings, Pettibon--another artist of the naif-drawings-and-text school-- looks like Wittgenstein.
 

New York Times Clementine Gallery:

DANIEL JOHNSTON: 'THE STORY OF AN ARTIST' The nearly 70 ballpoint and felt-tip drawings by this semi-outsider artist and rock musician and 2006 Whitney Biennial pick don't live up to the hype, but they are fun to look at. In a distracted but versatile, faux-adolescent style, the Texas-based Mr. Johnston creates sweet and sometimes hair-raising cartoon improvisations on themes of love, sex, hope, despair and death. Clementine, 632 West 27th Street, (212) 243-5937, through April 15. (Johnson)

About movie showings and locations - thank you for your many, many inquiries.  We're sorry if referring you to Sony web sites and web movie resources does not give you the information you need.   The indication that the movie is showing March 31st "At a theater near you, Everywhere, USA" is not true.  The following information was provided to us March 30, 2006 and should not be regarded as an official list, and which we have posted only "unofficially" as it appears to have the information you are asking for.

Man-Child in the Promised Land
By RANDY KENNEDY

Published: February 19, 2006

WALLER, Tex. — In their crusade to take the pulse of contemporary art every two years, the curators of the Whitney Biennial often stray from the art world's beaten paths. But rarely have they strayed quite as far as this small farming town near Houston, along a road that leads to a beige-brick ranch house where a middle-aged man named Daniel Johnston lives with his elderly parents......
