Not his. I can't believe this 'conversation' has been going on since august last year, and i know it kinda stoped in march, but i just found this place so hear me out.

Conor O'burst has amazing talent - yeah, he may not have the greatest musical talent, but his ability to portray passion through his music is amazing. People connect with the lyrics he rights, because people go through the same shit.

So to bag him is bagging human emotion. And to do that is just heartless. I don't know all about this 'egomaniac' argument because i live in australia and he's not exactly a poster boy over here.

Every now and then i might find a little column on him written in rolling stone, but that's it. If he was truly an egomaniac, wouldn't i hear of him a lot more? Wouldn't he fucking tour here?

His lyrics and the variety of each of his records are quite amazing. Thank you for making a thread about this.
