I'm not crazy about Coldplay. I don't hate them, but I don't find much to like, either, and about the best that I can do is to say that they're pleasant, like chamomile tea. And I reserve the right, on my blog, to make snide comments about bloated, inflated, extremely overrated bands. Coldplay are the Journey and REO Speedwagon of Gen X, singing polite, radio-friendly pablum. Hey, somebody has to fill the role, and there were millions of people in the seventies swooning over "Don't Stop Believin'" as their generation's anthem, too.<BR/><BR/>I also recognize that people will disagree with me, so go ahead. I'm not going to convince you, because you've heard the music, and you're not going to convince me, because I've heard the music.<BR/><BR/>So chalk it up any way you like, and then let's get on with the business of loving one another, in spite of our occasionally irritating differences in musical taste, because that's more important anyway. God knows that there are perfectly wonderful people who inconceivably like Coldplay, and you're one of 'em.Andy Whitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010130934552315074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1145471208649464582006-04-19T14:26:00.000-04:002006-04-19T14:26:00.000-04:00like britney?like britney?mghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02279451510520504251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1145467010812772752006-04-19T13:16:00.000-04:002006-04-19T13:16:00.000-04:00Michael asked:what do you have against coldplay?

I know you think differently, and that's fine. I know a lot of peole think differently, which is why they sell millions of albums. But I can think of hundreds of bands who I think are better, and who are more deserving of popular acclaim. That's all.Andy Whitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010130934552315074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1145369937214557052006-04-18T10:18:00.000-04:002006-04-18T10:18:00.000-04:00what do you have against coldplay?what do you have against coldplay?mghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02279451510520504251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1145366694412616322006-04-18T09:24:00.000-04:002006-04-18T09:24:00.000-04:00andyi predict that these posters will get media at...andy<BR/><BR/>i predict that these posters will get media attention. i think some of them are satirical in a SNL sense and others disturb me<BR/><BR/>matt<BR/><BR/>http://www.despair.com/viewall.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1145311709773820222006-04-17T18:08:00.000-04:002006-04-17T18:08:00.000-04:00Mission Accomplished, Andy..
