oh, and btw, most people CAN actually stand him because they understand what he's conveying along with his delivery. think about how much respect he has from his fans as well as ward and james. he's clearly doing something right. his voice isn't perfect, but hell, look at bob dylan. same approach to singing, just a different sound.

oberst's voice is naturally shaky and he doesn't sit there and try to make it sound "emo" man. that's just a retarded stereotyping term that you're using to state the fact that he sings what he feels and he feels what he sings. oberst, ward, and james are three of the best modern poets as well as musicians.

caveman kenny...they all do good well in this video

this dylan song has alot of underying tone of emotion so i think its fitting the way conor sang it. i think it makes the song sound more real

Mike Mogis tears it up on this tune! Mike, please teach me how to play the lapsteel.

Conor Oberst ruins this song. He is so overly emoting that the song doesn't even come off as being sincere. Its his biggest problem as a musician and the reason most of us can't stand him. M. Ward and Jim James have been phenomenal at times but bright eyes is just a big brick of emo that adds almost a comical layer to this song. That just isn't funny.
