Connor Oberst make ass of self.
blanktom:
Trolley, I haven't really looked at the England tour dates tbh. If they came anywhere near me I'd go crazy and buy a ticket immeadiatly.
As for the thread, someone should lock it, because its gone from 'yeah, Conor Oberst said some crappy stuff' to 'Conor Oberst is a dick but his music is cool'.
Everybody agrees, so unless somebody has an alternative view, its gonna get a bit boring.
KharBevNor:
Well, I think Mr. Obersts music sucks large quantities of Chuff.
Liven the discussion?
Kid Amnesiac:
How does what he said about John Peel change his music in any way? If you're going to stop listening to him because of this then that's just dumb. Don't listen to him because you don't like the music, not because you disagree with how he presents himself. Let the kid talk, you don't have to listen to him.

I really have a problem when public personalities are castigated when they say something, which may be their personal opinion, which isn't what the audience want to hear or its considered in bad taste.
Celebrities are people too, and they can say stupid things and sometimes forget that they are in the lime light, being watched all the time.
Oberst was being a dick, but let him say what he wants to say, if you don't agree with what he says, don't listen to him, and so long as the music is good i don't think theres a problem.
This topic actually reminds me of something that happened in Australia, Darren Lockyer, the Australian Rugby League captain said a joke about the Bulldogs, which i thought was absolutely hilarious but, the amount of shit he got into was amazing.
Also, i think Live 8 was an absolute load of bullocks, they made a big deal about how none of the performers were getting paid, but were given gift baskets worth between 8 and 10 thousand dollars. I think there are better ways of swaying government opinion than holding a concert. Hence my dislike for Bob Geldoff is shown.

Bob Geldoff is a cunt no matter what.
