The Oracle Speaks On Coldplay's Acting Career

Q. Dear O, has any of the boys ever been offered a role in a movie? Would they accept it if they found the script good enough?

The Oracle replies:

Chris was offered a role in a huge film but the guys aren't actors, they're musicians and so won't be considering a career change at this point!

FYI: I'm not going to reveal which film because that wouldn't be fair to the actor who eventually played the role; he might think he was the first and only choice!

Q. I'm anxious to know, which Oasis songs did Coldplay try out in their soundcheck ? I love Coldplay, and Oasis too. DO you think Oasis' new album will be a good one ?

The Oracle replies:

Well Marvin, they played around with Cigarettes and Alcohol in a recent soundcheck. I already KNOW the new Oasis album is a good one, I was pleasantly surprised, I'd given up on them years ago, but it's a return to form.

Q. Why did Coldplay translate "Viva La Vida" to "Death and all His Friends" and not "Live the Life?"

The Oracle replies:

They didn't. I think you are misunderstanding the title. The full album title is:

Viva La Vida

or

Death And All His Friends

They're not saying that Death.. is what Viva la Vida means, it's more of an alternative title.

Q. Oracle,

Why do people who live in England who are studying math say, " my Maths" ?

The Oracle replies:

Mathematics sounds like a plural noun and so over the years we snuck in the s when we shortened it.
