Every time I see a post about Bright Eyes I’m reminded of the time I went to a Copeland show at the glasshouse in Pomona, CA. Bright Eyes showed up as a surprise opener in order to practice for an upcoming tour. Since many of the fans knew his music, they were singing along. He stopped midway during a song and seriously told the crowd to shut the f*ck up because when they sing it messes him up. I didn’t know his music at that point but this always left a bad taste in my mouth. Like, dude, you showed up as a surprise and you’re telling us what to do? Get outta here.
