One of the things that struck Oberst as he and the band went through twenty-plus years of music is that he may in fact have been writing thesame song this whole time.

When Bright Eyes toured Cassadega they performed an epic 7 sold-out nights at NYC’s Town Hall. What’s more grown-up rock-star than that?
