Worried Shoes

Daniel Johnston

"I took my lucky break and I broke it in two" is how Daniel Johnston started his 1983 recording Worried Shoes. The line is just one of many unforgettable one-liners in the oeuvre of the late Daniel Johnston. Worried Shoes, the highest of ten of his songs in my all-time list of 500, reappears as a sort of tribute in this year's Top 100. Daniel Johnston died on September 11th 2019, a month into the Top 100 2020 year. I remain a big fan.
