i feel like he's going to cry when they first start booing!!!it hurts to see it.. especially since this a song i first herd right after a big breakup..
i love how you would think the band would be scared off stage, but it seems that conor oberst was egged on by all the boo's and things throwed at him, so he simply said "fuck it" and went on with it. They played a show for a reason, and they just didn't care what other people thought of them. I love this vid. Inspirational, really. =]
I never said I didn't like them because of that, but I'm not a big fan of mainstream... It pisses me off when I can't listen to a song without someone singing to it.
I get what everyone else is saying from this video.
Obviously they are meant to be playing in a down toearth probably southern very "religious", "patriotic" place where theyre all about "traditional" this and that getting everything from the bible. They obviously dont agree with anything he's saying and dont let people talk kind of like most religious people are. Im not religious but i am extremely spiritual and am not putting anyone down at all thats just what i get from it.
my friend and i just saw a band play here in chicago called Tin Tin Can. We're both huge Conor/Bright Eyes fans and we both fell in love with Tin Tin Can. Thought I'd spread some love for a well-deserving band. Search them here by typing "tin tin can" (include the quote marks or you won't find them). They're on myspace too. FYI. Rock.On.
