Chris Martin (Coldplay) dedicates Grammy to John Kerry (and Johnny Cash)

[arcos]

He just said it, accepting the Grammy for Song of the Year.

on edit:
disclosure: I support Dean, but I thought it was very cool... it was more about opposing Bush, IMHO.

[rumguy]

1. No kidding? He just came right out and said it?

What network is it on?

[arcos]

3. I didn't catch exactly what he said...

Perhaps he dedicated the Grammy... not sure. All I caught was "John Kerry, who hopefully will be the next Presidente of the United States".

It's on CBS.

[countmyvote4real]

11. He dedicated their grammy to "Johny Cash and to

John Kerry, who hopefully will be your next President one of these days." (big smile)

[cindyw]

23. How did the audience react?

What did they do?

[ShaneGR]

2. He said that on the Grammy's????? WOW!!!

That's awesome. I love Coldplay. How did the crowd react?

4. No fan of soft rock

Elevator music

[seaglass]

5. Yep, just dedicated the grammy to Johnny Cash and

John Kerry - who hopefully will be your President one day.

Are the Grammy's on time delay or did he say it twice?

[arcos]

10. hmm... no idea...

I thought I was watching it live... but maybe not... hehe.

[Bombtrack]

12. 5 minute delay

thanks to Janet's boob

[seaglass]

14. Oh yeah, I forgot about that. But I'm in the Eastern time

zone, who could have seen it before me - odd.

[curse10]

6. Here's the exact quote!

"we'd like to dedicate this to Johnny Cash and John Kerry, who will hopefully be the president some day"

Yeah!

[arcos]

7. thanks for the quote n/t

[Feanorcurufinwe]

9. RIght on!

[blm]

27. Thanks!!!!

I missed it.

[Bombtrack]

8. I thought that the B.E.P's and Beyonce had better songs

but whatever, I wonder if that will get any news coverage

His quote was "and I'd like to dedicate this to Johnny Cash, and to John Kerry who hopefully will be your president someday"

Too bad he doesn't want Clark like his wife, or maybe he just thinks Kerry's nomination is inevitable

[ShaneGR]

13. Uhhh, he isn't married to Madonna

Gwyneth Paltrow

[Bombtrack]

15. And Gwyneth Paltrow also supports Clark

but thanks for the condecension

[ShaneGR]

17. Find me an article that says she does

That was a rumor.

[adamrsilva]

16. Yeah, well he's not American

Not that I don't like Coldplay, but I don't think people will like Brits telling us who should be our next President.

[George_Bonanza]

18. Moby, James Taylor, Carole King, and now, Coldplay!

John Kerry's popular music endorsements are quite good!

[ShaneGR]

19. I really like the idea of Campaign Concerts

Bruce Springsteen for Kerry. John Mellencamp for Edwards...

if that was the ticket.

[mountainvue]

20. Don't forget

Max Weinberg from the E Street Band.:)

[Bombtrack]

21. I heard James Taylor endorsed Edwards

I think Carly Simon might be for Kerry

[corporatewhore]

22. kucinich muscians are better willienelson ani difranco tim reynolds

michelle shocked ;)

[Hoppin_Mad]

26. Sorry, but Moby (if he ever did endorse Kerry) now supports Al Sharpton

ok, so in the interest of further alienating my fans, etc, i have to express my true thoughts regarding the next election...

and that is that al sharpton is the democratic candidate who would, in many ways, be the best nominee....

have you heard him speak?

he's bright and personable and aware and informed and all of the things that we want all of the other candidates to be.

when al sharpton speaks you feel as if you're listening to a human being and not a political robot.

the other candidates, dean, clark, & kerry are all good men who are principled and qualified.

but if any of them want to actually win they should hire al sharpton to teach them how to be quick and genuine and honest and personable.

if al sharpton actually had a chance i would support him in a heartbeat.
maybe in 2008 or 2012...

here's hoping...

if you doubt me, just listen to him speak.

i will support whoever gets the nomination, but damn if al sharpton isn't the most compelling of all of the candidates.
