Found this interview with Chris Martin and he talks about Al. Chris seems like a great guy, but these radio jocks are AWFUL. (Skip to 3:25)

Wow...they made it sound like Chris would be lowering his standards if he listened to Al's music. Oh, and one of them said "Yankovich". That hurts my ears. Chris does seem like a lovely man, though.

Why are radio DJs such pieces of human trash??
I thought Chris's comments standing up for Al were really sweet. It sounds like he is actually a fan!
I hope Al heard this; it does sound like Chris would be willing to collaborate on a future project. Maybe he could play piano on a Coldplay style parody...

Loved Chris' reply to "How did you listen to it?" - "With my human ears" (duh).

Also loved his suggestion that Coldplay might open for Al.

I have a lot more respect for Chris Martin after watching that. He seems like a really great guy, and I loved how he handled those jackass shock jocks. It seems like Al would have no problem getting permission for a Coldplay parody if he wanted to do one.

"How did you listen to it?"
REALLY?!? Where do they find mouth-breathers like this to helm a radio show?
That aside, Martin's response was perfect. This bodes well for a Coldplay parody in the future.

Finally got around to watching this. Jeez, that guy on the left... ugh. Good for Chris for sticking up for Al.

Yeah, some comments on the YouTube videos about Couch Potato are Eminem fans that think Al ripped him off.

Don't know if this counts so much but I do remember this one guy on Amazon UK who wrote this one scathing "review" of Al's music.. then proceeded to try to find more albums to paste the exact same review onto. ????
