A logical choice   During a recent Coldplay show in Boston, Chris Martin unexpectedly leaped off stage and sprinted an entire lap around a venue of 19,000 people. (Security officials, off guard, were unable to catch up.) The agile singer parted waves of adoring crowds with a Moses touch and just made it back in time to finish singing "In My Place." It's an example of how the band has matured as a live act.   Want to know what the other four things where? hollisterfreelance.com will enlighten you
