Connor Oberst make ass of self.
trolley:
He also insulted (read: spat at) the crowd and played a shitty set.
Gryff:
It wouldn't be the first time someone's done that, though.
trolley:
I'm not saying he's the most obnoxious artist to ever grace the stage, but what i'm saying is that he's proved himself to be somewhat of a fool. There had doubtlessly been fools more foolish than he previously, but that doesn't excuse such behaviour to an entire crowd of people who have stumped up that cash and are here to support you and your music.
Gryff:
Maybe, but surely it's not that big a deal. If artists had to apologise every time they played a bad set, then the NME would have nothing but "I'm sorry" notes in its pages (which might actually make it worth reading).
In an industry where excess is accepted and even encourged, surely you've got to expect the odd drug-addled performance. Sometimes they can be gloriously ragged, other times messy. They do happen though.
trolley:
Hmm, perhaps. It's a shame that the industry does choose to glamourise such a thing tho, when it's quite obviously anything but. The kid from my school what was found dead in his bed from a drug overdose on sunday didn't look too glamerous, so i think it's a terrible double standard to encourage performers to add glamour and a false sense of safety to such an obvious danger.
