Is Coldplay The World's Most Boring Band?

Is Coldplay The World's Most Boring Band?

Yes, but let's examine the issue a little more closely.

First, there's the ancillary question that if Coldplay is indeed the world's most boring band, does that not make them interesting by default? This is certainly a reasonable question. Nonetheless, since Coldplay is fronted by Chris Martin, the world's most boring man, I'd argue that the answer is simply 'no'.

Second, is it possible that Coldplay is politically interesting in that they are perhaps Britain's revenge on the world, especially the US, for electing George Bush? True, Coldplay was 'born' during the Bush Administration, but as unpleasant and dumb as they are, it is hard to imagine they are capable of being part of any political agenda.

So what have we learned here today? Clearly Coldplay is indeed the world's most boring band, and despite the additional association of being fronted by Chris Martin, the world' most boring man, they nonetheless remain completely uninteresting by any measure.

I hope you've enjoyed today's topic and promise to return soon with slightly less negative (and therefore less interesting) blogs in the future.

Why I'm Not Excited About Obama
2008-12-28 09:48:34

As I look inspiringly at the recent posts here with pictures of meditating naked in the snow, I find myself thinking about someone else who will have their ass on the line - Barack Obama.

Now don't get me wrong,  I like Barack. I'd have  "the B Man" over for a beer or two and to shoot a few hoops. We could blow a doobie (no inhaling, of course) and listen to some Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.

But running the US into the ground is a slightly more difficult challenge, especially for someone who's not much older than me. And considering he has about as much political experience as I do, there are some questions.

Nonetheless, everyone is happy now and satisfied how the media has recently decided he'd be our next president about 18 months ago - including Russia and Iran, for obvious reasons.

But if you ask me, nothing's changed; all the idiots who drove SUV's are all still out there, this time with "Be Green" bumper stickers instead of "Support Our Troops". Everyone will still blame the government for their own stupidity, no one will take any personal  responsibility, and everyone will go on and on about how Obama will 'save the world' while they wait for their stimulus checks.

Sounds like change that's hard to believe in -- oh well don't blame me, I voted for Jello Biafra.
