I'm talking about how Coldplay likes to market themself and how Martin tries to push his political ideology through his musical success.
Martin wishes he was Bono...wishes he had the political clout and international stage to push his wacko ideology. I'm not really saying Coldplay is trying to sound exactly like U2 musically, although you can certainly hear elements of a U2 influence in much of Coldplay's work (not copying...influence).
I knew bashing Coldplay would bring Tank out of hiding.
