Conor Oberst introduces Ben Kweller (and kisses him!)

Conor Oberst introduces his fellow New Yorker, Ben Kweller at Terminal 5. They hug. They kiss. And they love each other.

Then they perform a song together that I didn't get because my memory card was full. =(

November 8, 2008

We reviewed the show at http://www.noise-cafe.com/specials/conoroberst.html

I was there, and let me say I never saw him so happy in a show before...It was nice

[NoiseCafe]

I totally agree, I'm so glad that he's finally found something that makes him happy.

[wordhorder]

I am not going to lie, that kiss is fricken hot too! I almost started to defile myself in the audience.

[NoiseCafe]

lol yeah you can hear my screaming when it happened. HE IS LOVEEE.

[CarCrashHeartsx3]

Okay please don't like kill me or anything for this but....is he gay?

I tried to find out via teh interwebz, but I couldn't get a straight answer anywhere (no pun intended, hahaha).

He strikes me as the kind of person who loves who he loves no matter what their gender is.

Am I right?

[halfbloodphantom]

haha yeah, i feel like he just loves everyone that doesn't depress him.

but no, he's pretty straight. he was high during the encore lol (if you go to my Cape Canaveral video, you can see his fingerprints on his hat during the first couple seconds when he comes out)

I'm a huge Ben Kweller fan and just getting into Bright Eyes, so that makes it even better.

[heyjude97]

I love how he said Hollingsworth.

[xoFrankenstein]

I love when dudes kiss other dudes, it's hot especially when it involves Conor but yeah, I mean some people just kiss their friends which is cool. Regardless who cares if someone is bi, gay, or straight...? Not me :)

[amity1992]

it's so hot!! *_* i love him!

[Nest1089]

Oohh he is so hot and crazy beautiful...like a soul hurting beautiful. Any guy would be crazy not to kiss him.. >.>

[kmon3y4]

i don't know what the whole kiss thing was about but i'm pretty sure they aren't gay. i know for a fact ben isn't because he has been married since he was like 18 and has a kid.

@anon9573 *wants (not once) hahahaha

@Swiftlygothedays yeah that album is quite good. and bright eyes had better go on tour! i think its going to be in the fall though, which kinda sucks for me....fucking college.  i don't think theyre exactly breaking up though, I think that conor just once to get away from the bright eyes image. a lot of people still expect him to be an angsty teenager even though he's thirty because when he started bright eyes, that's how he was. i like the direction he's going in though so i'm happy :)

@anon9573

How could I have forgotten Nik?! His Sun Down album has been playing nonstop in my house for quite a while...I'm a bad fan :D

That's excellent! Even though I'm insanely jealous, it makes me happy that others were happy at a show, even if I wasn't there. I'm just making sure that I see at least one Bright Eyes show before they break up. Assuming they are going on tour...

[anon9573]

@Swiftlygothedays dont forgot nik freitas! and yeah, they were really great.....that sucks :( im so glad i got to see the a couple of times
