Coldplay X&Y New Release

I read a magazine that interviewed Martin, he is an idiot, I enjoy pop and rock like anyone else, but if you think it takes a big brain to write what coldplay does you are atleast as guilty of being an idiot as they are. They have been called "the next U2"....that fits me fine because U2 were another bunch of self-important assholes.
And yes I bought the "Rush" CD from C.P., I guess I drank the Kool-Aid that time.
I am pretty cool with people calling them Genious..he can be King of the idiots.

Not that critics make up our minds for us, they at least give us food for thought. In this past Sunday's New york Times, on the front page of one of the sections, there was a review of the latest Coldplay--not very flattering. I think every fan of Coldplay and fan of pop/rock should read this. I am a fan of the pop/rock genre, but Coldplay leaves me, well, a little cold.

Speaking of political statements in pop music: I'm a big fan of Bright Eyes music. Love the recent single, "When the President talks to God". It's currently a free download at the Apple Music Store. Sounds to me like a combination of Dylan and Beck on that particular tune. He's an acquired taste for sure.

Coldplay? I can take'em or leave'em. Don't know nothing about their politics but don't see a damn thing wrong with using a public position to speak ones mind. Don't understand why so many Americans get so riled up over someone speaking their opinions about politics. Some folks seem to view speaking about your politics (especially if it does not agree with their own) as if the offending party sodomized a chicken on public television during primetime. As far as the music goes, pop is as pop does. Stupid is...well...stupid is as Bush does (since we're speaking of idiots here).

Marco,

Why do you call Bush stupid?

Bush

It's the bald dude with the shades Albert....he bugs me! He got the bad mojo! My dog told me so! Watch out for him! He's likely to be responsible for some really bad policy decisions that had the band playing those huge-ass venues where the acoustics are about as good as my bathroom with your head planted halfway into the toilet (don't ask me how I know that).
