From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
"Daniel Johnston's cult status was propelled when Nirvana's Kurt Cobain wore a T-shirt at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards that featured artwork from Johnston's 1983 album Hi, How Are You, a T-shirt that music journalist Everett True had given him." --Sholem Stein |
