    I'm an old f#ck,a veteran of over 100 Dead shows. I am always on the hunt for new music. Over a dozen years ago I had the beautiful luck to run into Bright Eyes and Conor.He and his music has never left me and never will. Love this guy!

    I love the video! Nice haircut back in 2007! Very accurate! You've been my favorite songwriter since I was in 13 years old in 2005. All of your albums spoke to me in ways that helped me through each phase of my life. I've been struggling with my mental health post college and quite a few hospital visits trying to relearn who I am after feeling so empty and lost. Ruminations was almost TOO spot on for me. Had a few good cathartic cries listening to it. I hope you are well from the bottom of my heart. I used to love you once... and I still do. Your music is fantastic. 🎶 Thank you.

      Rachel, you sound like you were/are going through a rough time. You don't need to "learn who you are", especially at such a young age. Who you are will change over the years. Just know that you're not going through anything a million other people haven't been through. Literally. There are billions on this planet. Be true to your own nature, it's yours and unique. Know that everything is impermanent. Be kind to yourself, try to use an inner dialog that reflects love and compassion, especially towards yourself. Take it one moment at a time. That's all any of us really have.

    We started drinking the Kool-Aid
    We were taking the bait
    We were talking the big talk
    Never playing it safe
    Looking good as Jane Fonda
    On a Vietnam tank
    You can't get something for nothing
    Gotta energize your base
    But she was young enough
    She was blonde enough
    She was about a perfect ten
    Had millions of admirers but not one single friend
    But it's a, it's a little uncanny
    What she managed to do
    Became a symbol for a pain she never knew
    You know old Ronnie Reagan
    He was a shoe salesman's son
    He got himself in the movies
    Yeah, he impressed everyone
    He thought trial by fire
    Was America's fate
    He made a joke of the poor people
    And that made him a saint
    But he was tan enough, he was rich enough
    He was handsome like John Wayne
    And there was no one at the country club
    Who didn't feel the same
    But it's a, it's a little uncanny
    What he managed to do
    Got me to read those Russian authors through and through
    I miss Christopher Hitchens
    I miss Oliver Sacks
    I miss poor Robin Williams
    I miss Sylvia Plath
    Every morning's a desert
    Every night is a flood
    They say a party can kill you
    Well sometimes I wish it would
    But I'll be strong enough, I'll be man enough
    Oh I'll keep myself in check
    'Cause all my friends who flew to town
    Said that's what they expect
    But it's a, it's a little uncanny
    What they managed to do
    Got me admittin' to things I knew were never true

    Reminds me of my own country, Sonia Gandhi and Karunanidhi and other rich people who fooled us into all sorts of problematic ideologies, completely manipulated our indigenous histories and labelled us fascists and naziz and trivialised our current issues. Sonia Gandhi's father himself was an Italian Mason who fought FOR the naziz in ww2. These people are the Jane Fonda and Ronald Reagan of our country. Even our native name is forced to be erased from history over silly aesthetic reasons like "branding".

    While Bobby D is staring at his navel and pondering Frank Sinatra, someone else grabbed the mic and wrote a brilliant song that is so relevant.

      So Manny! I guess you from Australia or NZ by the the "mate " thing. Let
      me say I totally agree in one respect, however in the other...
      Especially in America right now, I would think that there would more of
      an upswell in in singer-songwriters right now. Perhaps that may come to
      fruition in 8 months to a year (as is takes that long to get an album
      produced). What I was after was that this guy nails it! Perhaps it's
      time to rethink who we listen to, in terms of speculation on current
      politics from musicians. Lord knows you have had quite a uhmm "shirt fronting" fool in charge of things down there... This as told to me by an Aussie on vacation in Scotland last year.
