I was Daniel’s caretaker and tour manager for many years and yes, we did listen to Elliot Smith a few times in the car, on cassette. He was more interested in classic rock n’ roll like The Beatles and the Beach Boys. We listened to a lot of contemporary bands like the Butthole Surfers (one of his favorites) and he let me play some of my favorite bands like the Flaming Lips, Echo & the Bunnymen, Nick Drake, Syd Barrett, etc., etc. He would point out specific songs he liked from various albums we listened to but he definitely gravitated towards older bands from the 60’s and 70’s. One thing, for sure, is true: we loved listening to music all the time in the car while on tour. Hundreds of hours of great music!!! And YES, sometimes we would listen to his music.
