"I often read about us: the pop star and the diva are special people. But what's this special thing we have? We do not betray each other, we are not attached to the bottle, we do not offer material to tabloids and paparazzi. Flattery hasn't spoiled us, success has not changed our prospects, wealth hasn't made us arrogant. My wife is more normal than the girl next door and kids don't care if you're a star. :)

My heart always melts when shy Jonny takes the initiative.:)

The romantic in me hopes it's a gift from Mr. Martin, the key to his heart.:)

TY. I read about this several months ago and wondered when it would be broadcasted. I better set up the DVR now before I forget. I'll be fast asleep at 11p.

I thought it was established a while back that the young boy in the picture isn't Chris, or is it a different picture?

I won me $200 by switching ISP from Comcast to AT&T. LOL I'm actually getting more for my money with AT&T, speed is the same.

I'm upgrading to 203. I was desperate and broke when the tickets went on sale in December, so I settled for the 400s. But now that money is available, the best I can do is 203. I've looked at the chart and the stage view from 203 is great.

I like the ultimate groupie part b/c it's so not like her. :laugh3:

Wow! A labor of love. Good on you!

This paragraph from an article about celebrities who left Hollywood for love made me smile Gwyneth Paltrow: Gwyneth Paltrow is the ultimate groupie. She met Chris Martin backstage at a Coldplay concert, won him over, and got him to put a ring on it. A couple of kids later, the two live in north London, on Chris’ turf. “I am so not moving back to New York. We are all very happy in London – it’s a great place to live and work and raise a family," Paltrow said. http://www.hollyscoop.com/khloe-kardashian/from-khloe-kardashian-to-madonna-celebs-who-left-hollywood-for-love.html

Ha! Makes sense.

I work at home, so I prefer to work at night when everyone's asleep. What's your excuse for being up so late?

Also, you can upload it to the coldplay.com exhibition room if you want.

There was a mention of an interview in Dubai but I haven't been able to locate it. Did you?

There was recent talk about Coldplay and Lego when Chris and Jonny visited the Absolute Radio program a couple of months ago. You should email your youtube video to Anchorman and see if they'll feature it on their website or twit about it. All Coldplay members are fathers and I suspect most of them are into Legos. I know Chris is.

Something tells me Chris is going to pop up at one of these BBC radio stations soon and give an interview or perform.

Boy, am I old! I take comfort in knowing that Jamie is older than me.:laugh3:

I understand.:)

PM please! I thought of somebody else but the age just doesn't fit.

Pray tell! Who was it?:D

Coldplay Manager: I'M Very Concerned. Spotify Competes With Downloads. Hardly new news, but worth mentioning just the same. Coldplay's Manager: "I Am Very Concerned. Spotify Competes With Downloads." Monday, January 09, 2012 by paul Coldplay's latest album will eventually make it to Spotify, according to the band's manager. But not until most of the juice has been squeezed from iTunes, which is probably months from now. "I am very concerned,” manager Dave Holmes told BusinessWeek ahead of the weekend. "Spotify competes with download stores." The comments come right as the album, Mylo Xyloto, crosses platinum in the US. Of that, nearly 60 percent of the one-million-plus sales have come from paid downloads, according to Nielsen Soundscan. And, in turn, a big chunk of those downloads came from the iTunes Store. Which means Spotify users will be the last to get access, according to a loose windowing timetable offered by Holmes. "Like all of Coldplay's other titles, the new album will be on [spotify] eventually," the manager relayed, which also means the same process starts over again when Coldplay releases another album. All of which seems like a raw deal to Spotify executives, especially since major labels have already been paid tens of millions of dollars (at least) for licensing privileges. Yet superstar artists have a very influential voice in this discussion, despite the presence of massive, upfront licensing ransoms. "If Lady Gaga doesn't want her latest album on Spotify, her label will listen or she may get a creative flu or miss certain promotional appearances," Ted Cohen chimed in. "A recording artist can be petulant." http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/permalink/2012/120109coldplay

Why do I feel like he's giving an evil eye to the paps taking the picture?
