I have a feeling that Thurston's response was a tad tongue-in-cheek, given how much derision is poured upon the mass-marketed version of "emo." It always amuses me how different these contemporary "emo" bands are from the "original" ones (though admittedly the latter were a far more disparate group).
As far as Thurston opening for Bright Eyes goes... who gives a fuck? Not me. Conor Oberst is a pretty talented song-writer. Thurston is... Thurston. I'd hope for the sake of the audience that they play together, because that would be awesome. I'd say PAULYBEE's estimation is fairly spot-on.
