Anyone else interested in stories of people gone mad???
I watched a beautiful mind last night.i found it really sad but i find myself intrigued by these stories of intelligent people gone mad.anyone else find them interesting???i recently watched a dvd about syd barrett aswell.i found it a really interesting story.one of my fave artists is daniel johnston.a film was brought out about him recently called the devil and daniel johnston.its his story about his music and mental illness.i just find myself drawn in by these stories and syd barrett and daniel johnstons music itself.i just find it fascinating having a doorway into their mind.i am curious if theres any other good films/documentaries on similar people/subjects or music by similar artists???cheers

I used to be interested in them until my dad developed his own 'beautiful mind' and now it's exhausting, it's a very sad and frustrating illness...... but for similar films...
