Conor Oberst Defends Britney Spears

He tells Blender: *We played The Tonight Show last fall and went across the street to this Mexican restaurant. The place was swarming with cameras. Britney Spears was eating in the other side of the restaurant. The way people treated her was the saddest, most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen. It was like the circus. I couldn’t shake it for a couple of days.*

Catch Conor at an upcoming in-store.

Bright Eyes - The Night Before Christmas

It was the night before Xmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there
The children were nestled, all snug in their beds
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap
