The best thing about Conor is that I guarantee he doesn't care what anybody thinks about him. He references "hooded-swaetshirt walks" on "Gold Mine Gutted". He knows who he's making music for, besides himself. He's been making the music he wants since he was 14, and he CREATED Saddle Creek. Being in control of ALL of your musical output is a pretty amazing feat. Plus, "When The President Talks To God" is a way better protest than the line "I've got soul, but I'm not a solider." Call me if the Killers ever yell "I guess that God just calls a spade a spade" on Jay Leno.
Ok, it's time... the inevitable Dylan comparison. Bob did whatever he felt like, and that's where it should end. Yeah, they both have the acoustifolk vibe at times, but when he was expectd to make Highway 61 Revisited again, he made Bringing It All Back Home. Conor was expected to make another Lifted... after that album had mild success (it got him in Newsweak... as a protest singer, of course), but instead he released Digital Ash and I'm Wide Awake. Of course, I'm he might not be the "voice of a generation," but I can't think of anyone better. Plus, he's cuuuuuute. Like, OMG! I totally relate to his heartbreak even though I'm fourteen and my extent of a relationship was holding hands with a boy at lunch. Oh man, I'm gonna' be crucified for using the D-word here...

When THe President Talks To God has to be the single finest protest song ever created. Not only are the lyrics clever, its by far the most passionate he sings on anywhere in "Digital Ash", "Im Wide Awake" or anything prior. It deserves so much more than a B-Side release.
He is the most fantastic lyricist I have ever come across, and is truly inspiring BUT his-music-is-allmighty-shite. Almost all his tunes are boring and monotonous, bar a couple from Digital Ash, and Road to Joy, which of course isnt actually his. If he could couple his writings with some good tunes, he would be far and away the greatest artist of our generation. Alas (Yay i finally got to use that word) he is another star set on self-destruction, as Glasto showed. A lot of his music tell of addiction, and I can just imagine a headline someday soon of him having topped himself...But lets live in hope eh?
