U2- Magnificent

The upcoming U2 tour!

I can't ski. So I would have to say no.

Welcome:D

^Sorry about that. I must admit that it's good to see that a bunch of 8-year-old girls actually know who Coldplay are, and appreciate their art.:shy: But yea- a room full of little girls screaming their heads off is aggravating.:confused:

Hey guys. I was just perusing around YouTube, and I came across a clip of the Jonas Brothers performing a cover of "Fix You" at the Hammersmith Apollo. Check it out- [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzvMdUlvcLE]YouTube - Jonas Brothers - Fix You (cover) HQ sound[/ame] Granted, they did only a snippet of "Fix You." But it's still hilarious- at least to me it is. So what do you guys think of this little feat by the Jonas Brothers? Funny or disgusting? EDIT: I apologize in advance if this has been posted before. I'm new here. And I just couldn't resist.

Hey everyone. I have a few friends who were recently laid off from a pharmaceutical company due to an acquisition. They join the millions of Americans who are out of work during these tough times. So I felt compelled to initiate this kind of discussion. Unfortunately, I'm not educated a whole lot regarding the US economic system. All the economy-related threads on this forum just leave me with a question mark. I do know that Wall Street had a big meltdown last year with the financial collapse of a bunch of banks. And these banks fell because people couldn't pay their mortgages. As a result of these banks failing, companies can't get the funds to support their businesses. And this was followed by a massive rash of layoffs. And unemployed people can't afford to spend, so retail outlets like Circuit City met their demise. I also understand that companies tend to participate in such activities as merging, downsizing, and "offshoring." However, that's all I know. But everything can be traced to a beginning. A trend in job losses doesn't just happen. One thing leads to another. There are cause-and-effect relationships obviously at work. Can someone piece all of this together? How do banks, government, and business practices figure into the equation? What are the origins of this rolling snowball of job losses in the first place? Where did it all start to go wrong? Is there a timeline? Thanks for your help, guys. I apologize if I seem so ignorant.:\

Hey thanks! How about this one: "C'est comme ça." What does THAT mean in English? French is so much harder to learn than Spanish.XD

Hey there French-speaking Coldplay fans. I'm an American in the middle of taking French classes at school, and I'm struggling with some translations. How do you say the following English phrases in French? "It is what it is." "All's well that ends well." "Life's so hard." "Life isn't easy." Can anyone help me translate those English sentences into French?

I've always been wondering- Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Eddie Vedder, and the Dixie Chicks have all been blasted by the right-wing media for their anti-Bush remarks. So why haven't Green Day been criticized for their anti-Bush lyrics on American Idiot? Does anyone know why?:confused:

Thanks for the welcome, everyone. I know I said I'm more of a U2 fan...but I just couldn't resist jumping in here.:D

Hi everyone. My name is Ken, and I live in New York City. But I'm originally from Ontario. I've been a Coldplay fan since X&Y. However, I'm more into U2. I'm also a member at several different U2 fan forums. I look forward to hanging out with you guys.
