Conor Oberst – Nice but kinda weird – B (since we are mostly Conor obsessives here, here is some more info: "He plays the "enigma" card to the max. But. I will say when we first met, he checked me out. Like the way a straight guy checks a girl out. So did this blond guy that was with him. The two of them seemed to be attached at the hip. Even my brother noticed it. When we were alone later he was like "Whoa. Conor totally scoped you out. Also, there was a ton of gack around backstage at his show. Not sure if he was indulging but everyone else certainly was. But the guy isn't a prick at all. Just distant and a bit inscrutable.")

He talks about the strangest topics, but he's doing the best he can – he is a bit awkward. At after show parties (and he only does a few) he's fantastic. Just approach him gently. ")

Chrissie Hynde -You get what you give – B – (here is the entire quote: "she's a relative of mine, and you can suck my sack. With her you get exactly what you give. Don't be rude, pushy, or stupid. If you approach her like a human being (and you're not holding a Big Mac) she's very cool with everyone. (She's not going to kiss your ass, but if you want to talk about any decent topic, she's not shy.) If you're a dick, goodbye")
