Honestly, I wouldn't give a **** if Oberst had 200 themes to his song lyrics, it's the actual music that I care about. And if his lyrics are so great and what makes his band so awesome, Oberst should be in the poetry profession instead of the music profession.
Rrrright well if you knew you were going to get attacked (which you should have been), you at least know your argument it stupid.

I don't think anyone said Bright Eyes has original song ideas, that wouldn't be a selling point ever. Imagine: "This band is good because they wrote this song about a mountain rescue pelican that was raised by St. Bernards but gave up that life to be a dentist."

Thats stupid. And if you don't like lyrics maybe then you should live in an elevator. Bright Eyes, while faultable on many points, has some of the better lyrics in music today. And trying to pin them on minimal themes is foolish. How many careers are built solely on lvoe songs. Get Real.
