coldplaymom Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I MET BARACK OBAMA AND HE SAID: ‘I HAVE YOUR SONGS ON MY IPOD.’ BUT I THOUGHT: ‘I BET HE S Coldplay’s Chris Martin met President Barack Obama Tuesday March 13,2012 By Lizzie Catt with Lisa Higgins and Jack Teague YOU would think waking up every morning next to Oscar-winner Gwyneth Paltrow would alert Coldplay’s Chris Martin to the fact that he’s living a “surreal” life but it seems a meeting with the President of America has pushed him over the edge. “I met Barack Obama and he said: ‘I have your songs on my iPod.’ But I thought: ‘I bet he says that to every pop star he meets,'” says Chris, 35. “I can’t get my head around the notion that the President would have any of my songs on his playlist. It’s just too surreal.” http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/307730/I-met-Barack-Obama-and-he-said-I-have-your-songs-on-my-iPod-But-I-thought-I-bet-he-s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplaymom Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 As much as Chris likes Obama, I've always wondered if the latter is aware of him and the band's music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintergreen Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 If that is indeed true and he does actually have their music on his iPod (which wouldn't surprise me, he does seem to have pretty cool taste in music), that makes me like the guy all the more :D.

There's this video where Chris says, if Obama could just have the word Coldplay tatooed on his neck. LOL Chris was very vocal during the last US presidential elections, so I'm very pleased that the guy knows who he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I had it wrong. Chris wanted the tattoo on Obama's head, it's Jonny who suggested a specific spot on the neck, then Chris Concurred.

coldplaymom Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 It's all over the net now. I wish they'd post the initial original interview instead of these 2nd hand reports. Chris Martin Can’t Believe Obama is a Fan! Posted by Adam Tuesday March 13, 2012 CHRIS Martin can’t believe he’s known by the President. The Coldplay rocker — who’s married to actress Gwyneth Paltrow — says he was shocked when Barack Obama told him he was a big fan of his music. “I met Barack Obama in the summer and one thing he said to me was ‘Oh I have your songs on my iPod, but I just thought ‘Oh I bet he says that to every pop star he meets,” he said. “I cant get my head around the notion that the President of the USA would have any of my songs on his playlist, it is just too surreal.” http://www.showbizspy.com/article/245158/chris-martin-cant-believe-obama-is-a-fan.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coeurli Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 coldplaymom, you forgot the "c" in Obama's first name in the thread title. I understand why Chris thought that. Obama is in politics, after all (do you say a politic or a politician, when you mean the person ? I always get confused :shame: ). But it's very likely that he has at least one Coldplay song in his iPod, VLV for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
