It's like your writing collapses under the weight of it's own self importance. This is just the kind of spout I'd resist becoming involved in if overheard in public. It seems we agree on very little concerning Conor Oberst, and probably on less concerning music in general. The absurdity of directly comparing one artist to another is woefully apparent here, a sure sign of somebody who could believe that character can be quantified, people can be rated and humanity has a scoring system. Outside of a means of description, or a quantifiable quality Conor Oberst is just Conor Oberst. Are you the next Vox Populi? Some of my favourite musicians ever became great because their introspection, their insular love of the pronoun 'I' which afforded them a powerful and effective means of connecting with their crowd. Understanding yourself is surely the key to understanding others right? Too philosophical? It's a pity that you open by pretending you've got nothing against the guy, then proceed to systematically contradict yourself by detailing your reasons for disliking him. On the surface, one could think that you're saying nothing here, just throwing words at the web. I own being fool enough to read your work and respond though I guess! Good luck ever just enjoying something for it's unique beauty. May you have a life filled with conditional joy and relative happiness!

I have been a fan of Bright Eyes and recently got Conor's solo album and it does sound alot more like himself. Cassadaga was ok but his solo completely sheds new light on his music. I am also a big fan of Dylan but yeah Oberst gives you alot more insight to his life. I completely agree.
