elliott vs conor

[_thisis_theend_]

so i'm apart of the elliottsmith community on lj. this was posted a day or so ago:

"The other day, my friend was checking out a Bright Eyes CD, when I noticed that there was a sticker on the front talking about Conor Oberst. I remember it saying that Conor "suffers like Elliott Smith". Now, I rarely ever listen to Bright Eyes, or know anything about Conor

he may not be alive, but the life he lived when he was alive, isnt yours or anyone else's to judge or talk about.
its fine to compare music, but when it comes to comparing other peoples lives, especially one's you know nothing about, you have no right.

dude im just reposting what someone else said... i dont think its right to "judge" (i really don't get where you got we were judging mr smith from) him or anyone else for that matter. i thought the whole comparing suffering thing was stupid. and i was just trying to get a thread going. do forgive.

but if you really wanna jump down someone's throat about this, go to elliottsmith. thats where it came from.

also it might be a bit smarter if you stop hiding behind "anonymous".

when you successfully enter the music business... your life is no longer private. As many an artist knows.

"People will start internet drama over anything! Hilarious!"

gotta love that irony :)
