Bright Eyes – Down in a Rabbit Hole Lyrics 15 years ago
Just because someone sings about something, it doesn't mean they did it. I am definitely not saying Oberst never did any drugs, and for all I know he could have done heroine.

------But he never had a mother drown a little brother of his in a bath tub either. A lot of people confuse songs with reality when sometime they are fiction. ---------


Sometimes that's what songs are, fiction. But also, sometimes they are emotionally and philosophically attached to the writer to create a first hand account.

I think you are on the right track. But I feel that Oberst creates a lot of songs too. It could be possible that it is biographical, but I think he creates fiction a lot of times in his songs. A lot of singer/song writers make up stories that fit an idea they want to get across.

Bright Eyes – Well Whiskey Lyrics 15 years ago
But tonight that's a secret, like the soul of a whore
That if you want to have fun you will just have to ignore

--This is a sweet allegory.
