Q. Oracle, I was reading the other day that to choose who was the singer for Coldplay Chris, Guy, Will and Jonny wrestled. They did this because they knew that the singer would get all of the publicity. Is this true? Thanks a lot.

The Oracle replies:

There's no truth in that whatsoever.

Q. Hey Oracle! I was looking at the cassette tape for Ode to Deodorant, and it has Phil's number on it. Could I still contact him on it, or is he guilty of false advertising after all these years? Thanks!

The Oracle replies:

The only thing Phil's guilty of is changing his phone number many years ago so, no, you wouldn't be able to contact him on the cassette's out of date info.November 2, 2009 - submitted by Priyam, United States of America

Q. Dear Oracle, If I were to start a band called HotAct...would Coldplay sue me? Thanks.

The Oracle replies:

They wouldn't sue but since you're here asking... why on earth would you pick such a dreadful name to represent you for all eternity? No offence but I'd go back to the drawing board and try to come up with something better.

I don't think you'd be taken seriously using that name either. However, if your band is a Coldplay tribute act, HotAct would be passable.
