Q. Are you a racist? Why is it that the great O never answers questions from Africa????? Are we not worthy? To "African" for you? MMmm...I am offended. If you actually have the balls to answer this I may change my mind but I highly doubt that you do.
The Oracle replies:
Hey Antz, I'm pretty sure I have answered a Zimbabwean question but as for any others, it seems the only question submitted from your part of the world is "when are you coming to Africa/South Africa?" and I have indirectly answered that too! Other than this question of course, to which the answer is no, I am not a racist (I'm offended too). I shan't sue for deformation of character, that's not my style. However, my balls are almost as big as the ones the band are currently using on tour so I had to answer.

Q. Dear Oracle
I often read your questions and answers pleasantly.
I'm admire your polite answer.
If I checked the site of Glastonbury Fes where want to go again, the tickets have already been selling, but the line-up isn't showing up on the page. It's going to hold for four days! I'd like to see the dear artists.
Is Coldplay planing to join the Fes? I haven't been in there since 2000's. I watched Coldplay in 2000's on TV in the Pub where I used to work.
And the other question is that when Coldplay's coming to Japan next year, are they going to play other Japanese songs? If it's so, can we request some? Don't they have time?
I have some advice to them,
It's good to play bascket ball a interval of your concert more than table tennis!
Thank you for your patients.
you
The Oracle replies:
Hi Yukie, well the thing with Glastonbury is, they like to announce the line-up after they sell out. Last year they didn't sell their capacity so the acts were revealed. The boys obviously love Glasto but if they are or are not playing, we couldn't really say. I recall Chris mentioning that Jay Z was headlining before the festival had confirmed it so it's probably best to let the Eavis family let you know one way or another! Whoever end up playing it will no doubt be brilliant.

Q. I know that this may be an unoriginal question because you already answered two lyric questions, but I have a question about Violet Hill:
after Chris sings: When I'm dead and hit the ground....
what comes next?
I looked it up on my favorite lyric site and it said
...a love back home it unfolds?
but it dosen't sound anything like that...
can you shed some light on this for me please, oracle?
thanks!
xoxo kat
p.s please answer! i ask a lot of questions which in my opinion are good but you don't answer them! please answer this one!!!
The Oracle replies:
Firstly to those doubters who think people should find the answers by searching on the internet rather than asking here I say this: there are choices, a search engine or the Oracle, it�s a personal choice but this highlights why sometimes searching doesn�t help�. Chris actually sings, �My nerves are poles that unfroze�. As you say Katira, nothing like what the internet threw up for you.
Secondly regarding the p.s, there have been over 21,000 questions submitted and every single one does get read � eventually. Although you may think your questions are good, and they may well be, I may not agree. Either that or I haven�t got round to answering any of the others yet!

The Oracle replies:
I think you should be able to find Chris easily here. That should help you find him in the film. Jonny on the other hand... I haven't seen it for ages and there's no photo (apart from Zombie Aid spoof from the end).
