1. Possibility

You mean him?

Whoops! Wrong Bright-Eyes.

I don't know the musician too well, but his lyrics are great.

2. Bright Eyes is Conor Oberst and friends

Band originated in Omaha around 1995.
Is of the indie DIY emo variety.

7. No one has yet mentioned Obersts song "When the President talks to God"?

Check it out. It's a free download on iTunes. Bright Eyes was on the "Vote for Change tour with Springsteen, REM, Eddie Vedder, Dixie Chicks, etc.

10. Bright eyes is conor oberst...

at both a genius and a pathetic person. For all those not up on it, he's the poster child for this crazy teenage craze called "emo"... this is not jedr by theway, this is his son. but anyway, if you really want to hear a great song, despite the title it is brilliant, it's called "let's not shit ourselves (to love and to be loved)"... i prefer the title in parentheses. Don't pay attention to anything before the album lifted if you don't want to hear a kid crying about heartbreak and about alcohol.
