Coldplay’s Chris (“shareholders are the greatest evil of this modern world”) Martin is the gift that keeps giving. Here via Scott Burgess (who else?) are some of his latest words of wisdom:

” I was wondering whether certain people’s policies would change if they heard certain songs…Would it really be possible to start Nazi Germany if you’d just been listening to Bob Marley’s Exodus back-to-back for the past three weeks and getting stoned? Would the idea of the Holocaust seem so appealing? I know this sounds really trite…”

Yes Chris, it does.

Of course, towards the end, the Fuhrer did seem to spend a lot of time stoned on speed, pastries and operetta, not that it did much good for anyone.

Mr. Martin also thinks that the world would ‘probably improve’ if Dick Cheney listened to Radiohead’s OK Computer.

Um, Ooookay, Chris, if you say so.
