Conor Oberst quotes from Rolling Stone

"My whole thing is having heat. Where melody, poetry and sound all meet as one fiery liquid thing -- that's heat."
- Conor Oberst, Rolling Stone, June 5 2009.

"I don't necessarily believe in God. But when you hear music and poetry that's that truthful and spot on, you just don't feel as alone, you know? That's -- that's it. The highest form of art."
- Conor Oberst, Rolling Stone, June 5 2009.
