Bright Eyes (Conor Oberst) was on Leno in May. The video of his performance is online and I encourage you to watch it. It's called "When the President Talks to God."

If you haven't heard or watched it, some of you are about to be seriously offended. Others of you will be sympathetic to his views. Still others will like what he says but not be happy with his approach.

Honestly, I couldn't care less to discuss the politics of his ideas. I'd rather think and talk about how we listen (or not) to what he says. I'd rather discuss what it means to hear what a person is really saying regardless of the rightness or wrongness of their views.

So watch the video. The lyrics are available at the above link too (though you won't miss them on the video), and let me know what you think.
