Äntligen. Coldplay, världens främsta arenaband just nu. Eller ett av de stora.
Nu har de gästat Simpsons.
Kan det bli bättre?
True, the Grammys perpetrating their special brand of outmoded misery upon people dumb enough to watch (like me!), but there were also intentionally funny moments in televised music last night. For instance, the Chris Martin Band quietly dropped in on Springfield to ”film” a cameo. The video we have starts with a look at the Chris that’s not a cartoon (wait there’s a version of Chris that’s not a cartoon?)(just kidding!)(Chris is OK!) recording his voiceovers in a sound booth, which is great for a couple of reasons: 1) you get to hear the various versions of punchlines that don’t make the cut (The Simpsons writers: 20 years and still got it, even if their time has come); and 2) Chris Martin cracks up the writing staff with a very funny joke at his own expense. One could argue it’s easy to make very funny jokes at Chris Martin’s own expense, but one would be an asshole to follow a compliment in such a manner.
