The first graf of a Rolling Stone Q&A with Conor Oberst:

Since the release of 2007’s Cassadaga, Bright Eyes frontman Conor Oberst has been either touring or cruising around the country in his car. On his new solo disc — which isn’t a Bright Eyes project because it doesn’t feature longtime collaborator Mike Mogis — the Omaha, Nebraska, singer-songwriter reflects on road trips through Florida (”Cape Canaveral”) and Northern California (”Sausalito”). And on “Moab,” Oberst sings the mantra “There’s nothing that the road cannot heal.” To record the set, Oberst decamped to Mexico — musicians, girls and recording gear in tow. “I knew I didn’t want to be in a studio,” says Oberst, 28. “It was beautiful, warm and remote, and they didn’t mind us making noise.”

Emphasis added. I don’t think Oberst has a couple of young children I haven’t heard about. So writer Austin Scaggs seemed to be indulging in some very un-emolike sexism, and possibly revealing it as well.
