End-of-show collaborations should be left to hippies and jazz musicians.

OK, Connor solo=Bright Eyes. Bright Eyes is his acoustic based folk type project. It's Bright Eyes if it's him solo, him with the big girl backing band, a few dudes or whatever.

jwinter (January 6, 2004)

Will he have the big band with him on this tour though? From what I'm gathering.. it doesn't seem like it. Hopefully he brings the gang along though.

Someone (January 6, 2004)

there isn't eithier without connor, even on a stage full of musicians he stands out alone, I only wish they were heading towards the west coast..

Someone (January 6, 2004)

I didn't think that the Ben's were that bad...but I like them all individually, so whatever.

Not at all. -Scott

FortyMinutesWest (January 6, 2004)

No.

Someone (January 6, 2004)

His first album was good, and some of the stuff he's done on splits are pretty good, but everything else, before and after really sucks.

Someone (January 6, 2004)

what a retard. did you ACTUALLY think you were the only person who hated bright eyes? do you even fucking talk to anyone?

Someone (January 6, 2004)

The only one on this tour who's worth it is M Ward.

Romeo (January 6, 2004)

Eh... eh.

Someone (January 6, 2004)

Why is the king of fucking thrash, Max "Hirax Max" Ward touring with these emotards? Why is he solo? I thought he was in Japan right now!

I know a girl with a picture of Conor Oberst in her locket.....I make fun of her a lot. Could be worse I guess....could be Chris Carraba.

wow, people i went to high school with certainly would not have known who conor is. she must have a lot of cred what with her satchels and buttons and androgynous appearance. thank you emo game for cluing me into the stereotypes.

PetroBPettson (January 7, 2004)

But she's not in highschool. She works in a bridal shop and puts her paychecks up her nose.

Someone (January 7, 2004)
