i have never loved a person more

I love him so much.

Didn't think i could love him more but here i am.

I can't believe there are people in the comments who are Shocked and Appalled that Conor fucking Oberst is being political

When he was looking for a 'c-word' for coming together, I swore he was gonna say "clusterfuck" 😅

i'm a new convert. what a great guy.

Clusterfuck is the word

Confluence is the word

I apologize all the time for things that had nothing to do with me. Maybe that's why I respect it, it doesn't show weakness, imo, deep empathy. Being able to absorb other people's fears or pain and he ended it very positively saying that now is the time to come together the most. I appreciate it and I think it shows a genuine side to human nature because he is an artist and although he produces music for us he's not a music making machine that has to keep politics out he's still a human being a part of this country in this world and can contribute his thoughts just like you and I. Here is an example of apologizing for something you have nothing to do with: I hope hope hope hope that we all have equal rights marry still, under Trump. If that gets taken away I will apologize to my friends of the gay community and I will empathize. I didn't take that away but I will say I am sorry that it is happening and comfort them.

conor oberst for president

What a BAMF....

this is a classic

This is such a David Dondero song

also you were saying about apologizing for stuff that happened a long time ago Trump is the present and from here into next 4 years everything that happens from here on has the potential to affect everyone on the planet I think that's a little bit different than apologizing for something you didn't have anything to do with 20 30 50 years ago

Donald joseph drumpf is the fucking anti-Christ . . .

he was looking for the word collide.

I largely share his sentiment, but , as Bernie even suggested, we have to try to reach out to those that we might have failed, those that the Dems policies haven't reached, or have failed. I don't think making fun of fishing is going to reach them. I live in Red Country, and I'm liberal, and I supported Bernie, and voted for Hillary, but calling people dumb shits isn't going to win them over.

I love his music maybe more than anyone but I could truly give a fuck less about what he thinks about politics. Not that he can’t say his piece but his political views are just about as irrelevant as they could be.

Haha kind of awkward talking about Chelsea Manning in the same breath as praising Obama when he prosecuted more whistleblowers under the Espionage Act than all previous president combined... But hey, his heart is in the right place, and he’s not a political figure- the music is great.

I wanted to go to this show, but then I was too broke, so I didn't and kinda forgot about it. I started watching this video, but after a minute I realized I didn't even wanna hear his opinion. I loved this guy so much when I was a teenager and his music helped me get through a lot. I always thought meeting him and really getting to know him would be the greatest thing ever, but now I think I prefer to hold on to the idealistic picture of him I created in my own mind. It's a nice picture and I can project whatever I want onto it. And I certainly do NOT wanna hear the idol of my teenage years call me a racist for not joining the leftist echo chamber. This stupid election in a country that's not even mine has ruined enough things (and people) for me, I'm not gonna let it ruin this nice picture and all the memories that are attached to it. After all, I'm glad I didn't go to this show. It would have, lowkey, broken my heart.

Id just like to say Mr. Oberst does not speak for the whole but his playing and writing are pure genius. yup leave politics out of music but share beliefs and I think we all believe and try to live by the GOLDEN RULE

Low energy

Good lord this is some small-brained blather, and that's coming from a person who has listed to CO religiously for seven years. For all fellow fans, please realize that there is a large distinction in being a great song-writer and being intellectually illuminating. In this intro, he is doing effectively nothing but repeating talking points he has heard others say ad infinitum on CNN. They are not thoughts he has arrived at through his own careful thought, and, to be honest, it seems as though he thinks very tribally, like most American voters, and is unable to detach himself from the herd and consider WHY he supports those who he does. My impression is that he will always vote for the liberal candidate, even if he/she does not embody those principles which he supposedly holds dear. Ergo, if a 'righty' ran on every fundamental issue that CO cared about, he would still have this opinion of him/her, because he thinks in terms of dualities. The fact that cultural figures like CO still have this exact same opinion of Trump despite his accomplishments as POTUS is testament to their inability to diverge from the intellectual hegemony of the herd.

This teenager is 38 years old. When does he grow up?

You've come a long way since When The President Talks To God. I agree with some of what you say, but you're getting a little too socialist. You took the easy road. You've lost your edge. Peace.

jeez connor low point
