Bright Eyes and the State of the Nation: MTV Video

On MTV.com right now, they are running an MTV News special on Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes. The video is actually pretty cool, with John Norris interviewing Oberst about politics, songwriting, and the future. Well worth the five minutes to watch it. You can check it out here. It even features some vintage video and sound clips (albeit very short) of the pre-'MTV gives a shit' days of Bright Eyes.
