Connor Oberst make ass of self.
Inlander:
It's not just what he said, it's the context. "Cokehead" might not be the worst insult in the world, but it is derogatory - and the fact that he made the comment while performing on the John Peel stage makes it that much worse. Context is everything.
EDIT: and holy mother-of-crap, I've just been trawling the Guardian's reportage of the festival and noticed the La's have got back together!!!
Spike:
I don't know what it is, it may just be other peoples negativity towards bright eyes creeping into my own judgement, but I don't like him. This is just an addition, however small or big it may be, to reasons not to like him.
est:
him calling someone else a cokehead sounds like a pot calling a kettle black. from his actions it doesn't sound like he was just drunk, sounds like he was coked off his head at the time, also.
KharBevNor:
Excuse me, But I listened to Peel's talk show, Home Truths, and let me just say, that guy was a total legend.
Plus, did he even do THAT much coke?
trolley:
Just to clarify, Connor was jacked up on coke at the time and the exact line was something like "John Peel was a cokehead, just like me"
