OK Greg. Another good one, but I'm not sure how I feel about it. As always with Coldplay, I feel like I'm watching tremendous talent delivering thoughtful thoughts . . . that are just a bit off. The same with Jay-z. I'm not going to pretend to be a student of hip-hop, but he's got a gift no doubt. It's all just a bit off. Anyway, it's a joy to see talent at work. But I'd just like to be more on board.

Sorry David. I am late in getting to this. Look, I don't think Coldplay is the greatest band. They are almost like the hip, 21st version of Christopher Cross. A little overproduced with some soaring melodies which kind of leaving you wanting. But...who cares? I am not expecting them to be the Beatles or even the 80's version of U2. This clip illustrates an enthusiasm and a fair amount of hubris and I give them points for aiming for something special and damn near getting there during an award's show that is historically known for disappointment us. It is a great Grammy performance. That is enough.
