Daniel Johnston - " Don't Be Scared " (self released Cassette) 1982

Songs of Pain continued, with more charmingly insular Outsider DIY from Mom's basement, hammered out on an old upright piano. There's a Daniel Johnston in all of us,and his work can be a portal for that.Purge yourself of all self-pity, and ask yourself why you don't lock yourself in a basement churning out endless hours of naively self-analytical ditties. Maybe its because you are 'Normal' and not a bi-polar schizophrenic, so pull yourself together and thank satan you're not Daniel Johnston.

Just FYI, regarding the phrase "DIY or DIE" and general tone of the blurb: When Dan gave me my personal hand-made copy of this tape many years ago, on one of the labels it said "Don't Be SCARRED" with two "R"s. Make of that what you may...

- Not Daniel Johnston

Could it be referring to "scars" as in don't be scar-red? Mental scars?
Oh danny you're so deep.
Although we are envious of you having encountered the Johnston, and also scoring a personalized copy of said tape.
Good stuff.
