Existence is Futile

In Case You Were Wondering of the Day: From Hypebot: “In the beginning, Daniel [Mustard] was a homeless alcoholic street musician. He came into the Opie & Anthony studios for their annual Homeless Shopping Spree. In passing, he said that he was a musician. The studio staff, being curious and having no idea what to expect, found him a guitar. Reportedly, he performed an original song that stunned the entire staff. Then they asked him to play a cover.”

The YouTube video of Mustard performing Radiohead’s “Creep” went viral overnight, and changed everything. He entered a halfway house as part of a rehabilitation program and was offered a record deal by Story Records, which recently released his debut EP.

“Before appearing on the Opie and Anthony Show, I never gave any thought about becoming a star,” Mustard recently told Asheboro Magazine. “I still don’t think of it much, but it seems closer now than it did before, and it’s keeping me motivated to stay off the streets.”

Good show, Internet. Good show.
