 Oberst's eyes are open to his growing fame - The Boston Globe
Oberst -- who fronts the revolving collective called Bright Eyes and is a member of a mess of other eclectic Nebraska bands -- is not, as advertised, the New Dylan.
Despite repeated overtures from major record companies, Oberst has stayed true to Saddle Creek, the independent label he founded 10 years ago with his buddy Robb Nansel with the express purpose of signing themselves (Oberst's first band was Commander Venus) and their good friends in Cursive, the Faint, and the Good Life.
Oberst, who express their pain, and it feels sad, but it resonates so deeply with hope and passion that it grabs your heart," says Jim James of My Morning Jacket, who's toured with Oberst and sings on the new album.

 Conor Oberst stays true to his politics
As Oberst, the lead singer and backbone of newly acclaimed alternative rock ensemble Bright Eyes performed his set, he rarely looked up as young women screamed, "Conor, I love you!" and young men howled, "Conor I want to have your baby!" in between songs.
Whereas it was clear Oberst's soulful and energetic performance drove the audience to the point of insanity, whether or not Oberst was even comfortable is another question entirely.

Oberst acknowledges that he did not object to the admission of his confession at trial and that such a failure normally results in waiver of the issue on appeal.
Oberst contends that all of the aggravating factors that the trial court relied on are improper, that the trial court failed to find mitigating factors, and that his sentence is manifestly unreasonable.
Oberst argues that at best he could be described as an acquaintance and that the mere fact that he may have had something in common with P.G. does not establish a close and involved relationship so as to be considered to be in a position of trust with that person.

 Oberst Karl Heinrich Hermann Barnbeck   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
When the bulk of the Division, in a narrow wedge, thrust over the railway area through to the Volga on 14th September 1942, Oberst Barnbeck had the mission of defending the previous sector of the Division with his Regiment as well as protecting the widely seperated right flank of the Division.
When an opportunity offered itself on 15th September 1942, the mission was carried out offensively, Oberst Barnbeck himself deciding, despite the low combat strength of his Regiment, to tackle the well-constructed field emplacements of the enemy and restore the connection with the Division.
Oberst Barnbeck was the driving force of the attack which, after the hardest struggle and tough hand-to-hand combat, led to the destruction of the Russian rifle brigade threatening the rear and flank of the Division.

 MAGNET Live Review: Conor Oberst, Jim James, M. Ward   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Watching Oberst feels wrong—like you’re peeping through a bedroom keyhole and taking satisfaction at the sight of a young man dealing in private with his own personal hell.
Oberst was later joined by James on acoustic guitar and Ward on keyboards.
Minutes later, Oberst and Ward crept offstage, leaving James alone with Willie Nelson’s “Always On My Mind.” Ward then followed James’ tribute with one of his own: a solo interpretation of Johnny Cash’s “Flesh And Blood.” For all the young audience knew, both covers were written on the fly backstage.

Oberst takes it all with a grain of salt, but he still can’t help but be aware that the not-so-ugly duckling of his younger days has blossomed into an eccentric swan.
While Oberst certainly has one loafer mired in his own neurosis, his plans to work out his emotional bleakness line by line in his songs seem to be working.

 BELIEVE THE HYPE? CONOR OBERST, OR RATHER, BRIGHT EYES.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Ironically, Oberst's latest records, which have earned him some strong critical thrashings, are actually the first sign of a talent with real potential.
But it's not like Oberst is making Metal Machine Music; much like Ben Gibbard dipping his toe into electronica with the Postal Service, Oberst wants to evade whiny typecasting by finding the warmth in a very cold genre.
Less enamored of his talent than he used to be, Oberst has curbed the self-regard, and his generosity towards his subjects shows a willingness to stop staring into the mirror for inspiration.

 village voice > music > Bright Eyes' Lifted, or the Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground by Joe Levy
His narrative voice constantly edges toward the prophetic, which is perhaps the legacy of a childhood spent in Catholic school, and certainly the cause of the usual misguided Dylan comparisons.
Oberst, though, cares nothing for the blues and lacks Dylan's studied timelessness.
It is a strangely religious album; every once in a while Oberst's characters seem to have wandered in from a Flannery O'Connor story or a Walker Percy novel—whether they know it or not, they're searching for good in a world that gives them nothing but bad.

Before Oberst could mutter his hellos to the best songwriter in American history, Dylan would smack him in the back of the head like an owner shooing away an obnoxious pet that came to look for food at the dinner table.
They crowned Oberst "the next Bob Dylan," "the new Bob Dylan," "the indie rock Bob Dylan," "the Bob Dylan of Generation Y," "Dylan for the prescription drug generation" and a million other undeserved monikers.
It's just intended to inform the public that Oberst's musings on politics and war, things he's been praised extensively lately, aren't even in the same league as Dylan's.
