Coldplay X&Y New Release

I too dig Coldplay. Great band, great lyrics.

I just wish Mr. Martin would do his music and shut up with his politics. Of course, when you become as important to the world as He now believes He is, it's hard to resist straightening everybody out!

lol ha lol Keep politics out of music LOL please stop LOL you dont mean to tell me you dont listen to any musicians who have strong politcal messages lol pleas stop lol who do you listen to ?lol

Autio-

It's not the politics in the music..I listen to Neil Young, so I can handle politics IN the music.

It's the tendency these dolts have to use their "fame" to spout crap outside of music that bothers me. Hollywood types do the same thing...they feel that their accomplishment in their craft makes them authorities in public and political arenas as well. I mean, I think Martin Sheen is a great actor, but his political views are somewhat whacked to me.

To quote Zappa once again- "Shut up and play yer guitar!"

Coldplay is one of the best bands to come out in the past few years. excellent music. brings back hope that not all music is turning into crap.
