Chris Martin And Coldplay Are New Labour’s Poppins
CHRIS Martin, front man of the Coldplay – the sound of new Labour - is talking to the Sun’s Gordon Smart:
“We grew up with Mary Poppins and all those sort of things,” says Martin.
Smart says the film supernanny is the “inspiration for the band’s spectacular concerts”.
Come see the middle-aged fans arriving in youthful-like high spirits. Come see the fans sat in neat orderly lines, taking their medicine and imbibing something sweet. Come see the fans having a jolly time and making it home for tea and scones and beddingtons.
Smart thinks this is just terrific and says: “One highlight will be a different version of their first massive hit, Yellow, which the lads play as is they are busking in a Tube station.”
And at £38.50 a toss, well worth it…
* Says Mick Hume:
If everything is supposed to have changed in Britain since Tony Blair was in his pomp, how come bloody Coldplay are still No1? Their Chris Martin was the frontman for “Blairpop” - a generation of bland, well-mannered “rock” bands without a rock’n'roll bone in their healthy-living bodies, who rose to the top under new Labour.
In 2005, when the singer sent Mr Blair a love note declaring: “I think everything you’re doing in terms of trying to sort the whole place out is BRILLIANT”, I called Martin “the musician that the Prime Minister always wanted to be, a prefect in the school of rock”. They shared an appearance of being all things to all men, with little real heart or soul behind it.

I think they would be a tad suspicious!
Giles found me on Genes reunited, and we shared trees but after that he got busy.

Who is Mike Hume (Basils brother?
)

When was it decided that all rock stars had to be drunken drug abusers?
Was it the same time that they decided that all football legends are thick?
Or when they decided that all Muslims are terrorists?
