April 21, 200521 yr I've never actually understood just exactly what a "Politik" is :huh: :( :confused: ????
April 21, 200521 yr well all I can tell you is that influential political figures such as Machiavelli beleived in Realpolitik, which was the beleif that you need to lead for the greater good of the country, weather morally right or wrong, or how your decisions will be received. For a great read on realpolitik: Machiavelli's THE PRINCE.
April 21, 200521 yr Author Cool. I thought it was something along those lines, but i wasn't sure. Politik is such a cool word. So strong :P . I think the K does it lol
April 21, 200521 yr I have a book called "Look At The Stars" an unofficial but accepted biography from pre-parachutes to AROBTTH. Along with amazing pictures, and a track-by-track review of AROBTTH by Chris himself, it is very detailed. However the writer kept spelling it Politix! Really bothered me!

Really bothered me![/quote'] Ahhhh me too! And he kept spelling Will's name "Wil" with one L, it was so annoying. I mean who writes a book and then messes up on the basics?
April 21, 200521 yr "politik" just another word (or the way I feel Chris utilizes it) is the state of the world today... disease, famine, civil rights... etc.. politics in genral... sometimes when people get together to talk about life in general.. they say ' we sat for a few and politik' just the friendly exchange of 'the happenings'.. at least thats the way i see it. Again, Chris likes us to take away from the music what we want. He doesnt want us to try and guess what he's saying... the music he (Coldplay) makes is for us.. we should enjoy it .... while it lasts.. :embarrased:
April 21, 200521 yr how hard is it for a band to get out of a contract? i thought the band was contractually obligated to do two more albums
April 21, 200521 yr heh i've been reading machiavelli's the prince for my english class, my professor never mentioned anything about realpolitik, though it is a very cool term. all she's been doing is ripping apart machiavelli's inductive reasoning, but i guess that's part of what makes him machiavellian.
April 21, 200521 yr how hard is it for a band to get out of a contract? i thought the band was contractually obligated to do two more albums two albums that could easily be produced within the next year or so. I hope they are around for a while.. but, these things dont last forever.. :cry:
April 21, 200521 yr i think they are only contracted to do one more album 1= parachutes 2= AROBTTH 3=Live 2003 Album 4= X+Y that means they're only contracted to do one more album 5= Best Of?!?!?!?!?! Hehehe just thought i'd stir things up a bit there!
April 21, 200521 yr hmmm i reckon it might do, i think when robbie williams did live at knebworth it counted towards his....i guess it just depends- was the album a bonus or was the dvd the bonus thing on live 2003 or were they a package? that might be how they get round it?
April 21, 200521 yr The 'bang-bang-bang-bang' is supposed to be the sound of the World Trade Center floors collapsing... :stunned: now listen to it again :stunned:
April 21, 200521 yr who knows?! i reckon it might do coz they still had to do promo etc for it and they still made money out of it just like a normal album....but then most of the reviews were for the dvd not the album, so maybe it wont count...?
April 21, 200521 yr The 'bang-bang-bang-bang' is supposed to be the sound of the World Trade Center floors collapsing... :stunned: now listen to it again :stunned: Isn't that a bit farfetched :confused: ?
April 21, 200521 yr not sure if thats true... but chris did write politik in the days following 9/11 so it is about that i think
April 22, 200521 yr yes i have the look at the stars book and it really bugged me too...but its a great book
