“Well, I guess it’s, to me, you know, pretty much common sense. You can only...”
– Conor Oberst (via silentdeathscrowdedlives)
Autumn, 2000
Interviewer: What's been the reaction to the new album at home in the States?
ConorOberst: I think it's been good. I know that people know about it and people are buying it more so than our previous records were ever bought and radio plays it a lot. We did really good on the college charts and, I mean, it's all...I don't know. I can't complain about things too much because if I wanted to make it all stop I could. I could just go home and lock my door and not play shows any more.
Interviewer: But you'd definitely want some interaction from people?
ConorOberst: I'm just one big contradiction.
Interviewer: Do you think that's because you're young? Maybe when you're thirty...
ConorOberst: I'm not going to be thirty. I'm not gonna grow old anymore, I'll be twenty forever!

me: so he'll be like "I love my fans!" and I'm like I love you too boo.

When a celebrity dies
Reaction 1: RIP famous person. You were an amazing person, your contribution to the world will never be forgotten! Even though I never really was a fan, your death still really affected me.
Reaction 2: OMG! I'm so over people obsessing over the death of this famous person. There are kids starving in Africa every single day and no-one ever acknowledges this. I usually don't acknowledge this world problem myself, but because a famous person died I want everyone to know how shallow they are for being so affected by this death.
Rinse and Repeat.
