For one thing Connor is not scamming anyone...if you had any sense of intelligence youd realize that.AND if you dislike Bright Eyes so much then why are you reading their concert reviews?

oh goodness, i suppose there's just no accounting for taste in this world. while i'll admit i sometimes find myself charmed by mr. oberst, he in no way exceedes the charm of cocorosie. i've heard a recording of this live show and while they weren't their best, one should probably venture to listen to their album before passing such harsh judgement. they are really quite beautiful. p.s. i like how this review is in no way of conor's performace and instead the disdainful things miss jen found in her surroundings. truly astounding musical observations.

Maybe I sound bitter, but Ryan Adams deserves 10 times as much coverage as Oberst does - and he's way more interesting.

come to think of it, it's probably best that I don't even know the spelling of his name. There's no pop culture cred in being a fan of this guy, surely... I long for the days when we had manly bands for the kids. I mean, what do the football players listen to in the locker rooms before games to get pumped up? Good Charlotte? Arrgh.

I was very much into the punk scene in nyc back in the 70's and 80's and it looks to me like things have gone down the toilet big time when wusses like the Strokes and Conor Oberst get such praise from the locals.

The only bad thing about drinking four rolling rocks during a show is that they are rolling rocks. Come on, at least show some class with a good IPA or something. I love the music though. I am snobbish, but not that bad. www.letitbeknown.typepad.com

The sooner your realize how much Bright Eyes is scamming you, the sooner the healing can begin.

oberst was best without the band, although the drummer was great and cocorosie should've stopped after the first ten minutes. tilly and the wall was great though, i was pretty damn surprised.

You crush on pretty boy du jour and hate on Coco Rosie? Please kill yourself, mall-spawn.

Oberst's songwriting is so bad it makes my brain bleed.

"who drinks four Rolling Rocks while performing on stage?" Bob Pollard does, but quadruple the number and make it Miller Lites.
