Very depressing material, but without his mental illness I doubt he would have been the artist he was/is. (I'm not sure what he is up t these days)****ty guitar player, but it worked with what he had going on. I really enjoy him.
Some of his old music was featured in a film that just premiered at SXSW. I think he was also scheduled to play a set of his own music but I'm not sure if he did.



Also, I wouldn't say that he's a shitty guitarist - he just chooses to play that way. In any case, here's something he did a couple years ago.
