Daniel Johnston to tour, play ATL on 6/26

A somewhat surprising bit of news, as Brooklyn Vegan has a slate of tour dates for Daniel Johnston. Among them is Atlanta's Variety Playhouse on June 26. Johnston was terrific in his appearance last year at Athens Popfest, and it will be a treat to see him again. Probably no Casper & the Cookies as his backup band this time, unfortunately.
