Dammit, I'm old.

Maybe one of you kids can help me with this:

Who the hell is Coldplay and why the hell should I care?




Now I'm off to shake my fist at those damn kids on my lawn.

I imagine you've heard at least part of some of their songs sometime over the past four years or so...with how ubiquitous their music tends to be, I think it would be hard for you to have avoided them altogether...

their first major hit was the song "Yellow"...from their second album was songs like "Clocks" and "The Scientist"...and as their current album was being released, the song "Speed of Sound" was very much overplayed...especially during the brief times that VH1 and MTV actually play videos...

also, the lead singer, Chris Martin, is married to Gwyneth Paltrow...and the child they have together is named Apple...

and you should only care if you think you might like their music...otherwise, concentrate on what you do care about...
