The Today Programme

Victoria · 24-12-2002, 10:09 PM

Did anybody catch the Today programme on Radio 4 this morning? Way cool - they did a ten minute piece on Coldplay!! 8) :-D Told how they are currently No 1 in twelve different countries :-D and had Jonny talking about why he thinks they're so popular - quote "We've put the heart back into rock music", and he talked about Chris's passion and how he just lets it all out in his lyrics and performance - that's what makes them different and so special.

I couldn't believe it, they went on and on, and kept playing snatches of AROBTTH album and bits of Parachutes too, and apparantly some critics have said they are going to be bigger than The Beatles - well, that's not news to me, I've thought so for AGES!

oh wow, i cant get that ova here well at least i think i cant :? :-D

Ooh, maybe not, Fifi, I don't know either

Anyway, it was only a one-off. I doubt they'll do more. It's usually just politics and stuff. T :roll: hough the BBC HAVE been running an ad promoting their digital service, and using the intro to Clocks as the background music! 8) They kept playing it on Radio 4 ! 8)
