Bright Eyes Were Part of an Answer on 'Jeopardy!' (and No One Got It Right)

I guess the contestants never had an emo phase

Like Of Montreal and Nickelback before them, Bright Eyes were a question on Jeopardy! Evidently, the participants never went through an emo phase in high school, because no one got it right.

Last night (March 15), there was a category in Double Jeopardy! called "Those Darn Nebraskans." The $1,600 question was as follows: "No wonder he wears shades: Omaha's Conor Oberst achieved indie rock superstardom with this anatomically-named band." The clue even included a photo of Oberst, but still nobody got it right.

What's the matter, guys? Never got so sad you turned to Fevers and Mirrors for comfort? I can't relate!

We recommend the contestants take a read of our Essential Guide to Conor Oberst. There's some good stuff in there!
