John Norris Interviews...Conor Oberst Pt. 2

John Norris speaks with Conor Oberst about his music.

Great interview! Seems like you had an authentic enough interest in his work and who he was to get him to speak in ways we don’t typically hear him. I appreciate this.

wow, you know, i meet him today! :)) i'm so happy! he did a show with the mystic valley band in zagreb, croatia. jesus christ, he's such a nice guy. a bunch of people were waiting at the exit from the club, and we were talking to other band members, nobody was sure if conor would even come out, but he did, all happy (and maybe even little drunk :)), talked to every single one of us, taking fotos. i mean, like a little child, gives out such a unique innocent appearance. i am so amazed with him!!!

I was wondering the same. *truly

[@BuzzyBeeee]

Conor Oberst is my Favorite person ever! :)

[@Freki619]

to me? It's being responsible for no one but myself, not being able to let anyone down when you do something that conflicts with someone else's interests.

ha I love Conor's face at 3:09.

[@PrettyLoather]

Hmmm, when was this interview done? :S

[@amvaddict]

That's the whole problem with settling down: It gives you security. Some people don't want to feel secure, they want to move around not knowing what will happen to them. In fact, they don't want to know what will happen to them. A secure feeling is boring and you can waste your life trying to hold on to it. That's more scary to some people than always taking chances, being oblivious to the future, actually living your life.

i would hate to have my music dissected like that, even though i understand and it was kind of interesting getting to know some of the answers (although i'm sure it was one of those moments where your like "damn i wish i explained that better") i would just feel almost..uncomfortable? although its not necessarily uncomfortable its just awkward? but i do hope conor and all his buddies continue making music because they excell at it and its good to hear music that is heartfelt and not idiotic.

[@Freki619]

Well I suffer from the same problem he does, only I found love and have chosen to settle down rather than move, and honestly it's killing me inside because that anchor is strong and I can't have both but I know I need one more than the other. I think that's why Cassadaga pretty much cried out to me, telling me to be free, I just don't know if I can do it, I'm not sure if I can be happy with the break man turning my way or if I should live free, and I'm only 21 : /

[@whitemonster009]

hahahaha, spot on

[@WhiteAnia]

I think instead that he has actually found true love and lost it, so he's just walking away..you can see him grow cinic through his records..(sorry if my english isn't perfect)

[@ANeonTiger]

I love Conor but he got sooo cheesy at 7:58 hahaha. He's usually not that cliche.
