For Coldplay singer Chris Martin, there’s more to life than chart-toppers .
"Our goal is to take over from U2," Coldplay's Chris Martin said during lunch in a funky beachfront restaurant in Malibu. The comment was so audacious that he quickly moved to put it in context.
"I don't mean 'take over' in a commercial sense or careerist sense, but in writing songs that move people in a big way. When I'm in a crowd of thousands of people singing a song I love, I get the best feeling - a sense of genuine community."
One of the most promising prospects of this weekend's sixth Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is hearing some 50,000 fans sing along Saturday night when Coldplay performs such lovely, caressing tunes as "Yellow."
