Weird, why?

Not the original commenter (who is being a bit dramatic), but Oberst is pretty notorious for being belligerent and/or very drunk at shows. There was at least one incident recently.

Yep, have heard that he hasn't been in a good place recently. But the phrasing of "wouldn't be caught dead at a show" makes it seem like dude's embarrassed to be seen there or something.

The “one incident” being the WWWY festival? Because those takes were greatly exaggerated.
