I’m not a coldplay fan. Okay, sure, after a few drinks friends and I have listened to coldplay at a bar, but you know that was just to get guys’ attention, right? It’s not like we’d ever listen to them _sober_ or anything.

I remember my first Coldplay concert. I was just there 'cuz my stepdaughter and her boyfriend needed a chaparone, I may not support the lifestyle but I empathisize with those that do. And really I was just there to see Three Days Grace anyway, I just totally blew Coldplay off.

No, really, I didn’t listen to the Coldplay at all.

That wasn’t me in that circle jumping around violently.

I swear, I didn’t punch that squirrley looking guy in the face and pitch him about 15 feet into the crowd. That couldn’t have been me. Besides, he clocked me first.

And I promise, after the Coldplay set we didn’t hang out together, have a beer and sit around oggling girls for most of the rest of the evening. Say… I wonder where my stepdaughter has gotten off to?

Coldplay is a gateway band I tells ya… Og, I feel so dirty.
