I'd never heard of "Bright Eyes" until Jay Leno had him on to do some anti-Bush song he'd written, with the appropriate disclaimer that this might upset people. And he's right: it upset me to think of all the musicians with talent who never get a crack at the "Tonight Show" when they let this whiny retard on. It was like watching a high school talent show from "Napoleon Dynamite." I swear, I am not just saying this because I disagreed with the political message. I seriously thought that what I was seeing was some annoying teenager who'd had the "benefit" of a California public school education spouting moronic DNC talking points as he "sang" the first song he'd ever written in his life while twanging the first three chords he had almost, but not quite, learned. It was the type of performance that should be kept in a bedroom, underneath the Che Guevera poster he will hopefully outgrow once he gets his first paycheck, with only the poor kittycat, who can't tell anyone about it, forced to endure his embarrassingly immature angst.
