Why is it that in modern times we have to reject beautiful music and label stuff 'gay'? Chris Martin is not gay. I've never listened to a piece of music and gone "oh yeah, so that is clearly conveying a gay theme." Music is expressive art. It's not a demonstration of who you want to have sex with (well, lyrics could be, but lyrics aren't music...). Also, the whole manliness thing is a joke. The gays in the NFL, NHL, etc would beat the crap out 99% of the homophobes talking ****.
I'm just happy we don't have to listen to the pop and rap crap they trot out there. News Flash: just because your popular doesn't mean you can sing... or write music... or have a note worthy idea... musical or elsewise. At least I wont have to hit mute this year.
