Ok, I’m too mad to get the grammar right.
I’ve been holding Coldplay tickets for a concert scheduled for tonight in Birmingham for, I dunno, 8 years or something. Now, I hear on the radio that they’ve cancelled. These guys are sissies.
DESTROY ALL YOUR COLDPLAY CDs.
That is all.
Cancelled? Why?
The weather turned nasty. It was too cold to play.
I’ll pass the information on to my daughter, Dale. Although I have this very odd feeling that she’s not going to care all that much 
When Coldplay have a dinner party, do they listen to recordings of accountants?
It better be good. We saw Danu last month with their Bodhran player (broken leg) and they still stayed on the beat. Saw Dervish last year - flute guy was gone (dental problems) and the stand-in did just fine.
If Birminham has power and half the band can walk, they should play.
By the way, did you mean sissies because they are not hardy or was is sexual preference reference. Doesn’t some current movie suggest that liking Coldplay suggests one is gay?
It really better be. I’m only disappointed, as are my 2 daughters and one of their boyfriends. But, you know, this is a big enough band that people will travel here and some will come tonight from out ot state not even knowing they cancelled the morning of. So, unless lead singer-boy is in surgery right now…
Has Coldplay even been around for eight years?

According to this, they were formed in 1997, so right at 8 years.
I’d honestly not even heard of them until the last year or so…but then again, I dont listen to much raido…radio sux.
And for the record, I’m not that impressed with them either…
There are bands that do it better.
And get less recognition.
What a coincidence. Gwyneth Paltrow was on Jon Stewart last night.
They were all yellow.
You young kids and all your yeah-yeah music…
Cold Play is the sanitized, radio friendly version of Radiohead. It’s like Radiohead without the expiremental aspect, which is really the whole appeal of Radiohead in the first place.
And apparently they is sissies as well, not that it was unexpected.

(from an ardent Radiohead fan)
I do like Radiohead a good bit more. Saw them in concert years ago. They were opening for REM.
Evidently Chris Martin has a nasty virus. They also cancelled in Tampa. They’re saying they hope to reschedule in Birmingham.
Chris Martin reminds me of that supposedly deaf-mute “piano man” who showed up a few months ago and who happened to be a random gay German.
This is the most interesting phrase of the week.
I have a few Radiohead albums, and I find them… fine.
Oh, and if anyone is looking for some of the strangest and most beautiful music you’ve ever heard, I’d suggest Joanna Newsom. She’s a classically-trained harpist who uses African rhythms and patterns, and incorporates an Appalachian texture. And she has an odd singing voice. And her songwriting ability is remarkable.
Definitely worth a listen. But it’s really neither here nor there in this discussion… :roll:
Now, Radiohead I could do.
All too true. I’d given up on radio millennia ago. BUT: a recent ray of light in the Twin Cities metro and surrounding area: 89.3 FM, aka The Current. Sponsored by Minnesota Public Radio, they play EVERYTHING. I mean it. Aural salad. Not only the newish stuff (which I like, just not at the expense of all else), but Johnny Cash, yes, Radiohead too, the Stones, Appalachian music, ethnic stuff, and even Marlene Freakin’ Dietrich singing that gawdawful “Follingk In Lov Aghenn”. Even the occasional hiphop is reasonably palatable, dare I say, although I’m still not a convert. It’s radio in its diversity as I remember it from back when the Earth’s crust was cooling. Suffice it to say that I’m listening to the radio lately. OK, I’ll stop gloating now.
Oops; sorry. Coldplay is sissies!
