So I've read about 4 articles about Bright eyes in the past 2 weeks(including one in the new yorker whats with that?) And about half of those have compared Conner Oberst to...Bob Dylan?!?! Conner Oberst is nothing more than a trendy emo singer. How the hell does anybody think he is a reosanable comparison to Bob Dylan? Blenders reasoning was that musicly hes remeniscent of Dylan....thats crap In dylans later years he didnt even play on a diatonic scale how is it possible that bright eyes could sound like him? I especially dont get why The New Yorker a magazine of much prestige would call him a folk musician when he obviously has no relations to folk music at all. Conner Oberst is one cat that really know how to get me steamed. Some things I will never understand.....
