Plug for Moss Eisley -- okay, Eisley; I'll have to get used to the new name: http://www.mosseisley.com And, Marty, you've flogged that horse so much you can't even tell it's a horse anymore. Get a new horse to kill.

When Coldplay played in Dallas at the end of January, "Rush of Blood" wasn't included in the setlist. As I remember, the war wasn't even brought up. The only political comment was a plug for some Fair Trade organization. See my review of the Dallas show here.

Marty, if that is your real name, why is it seen as big or clever to attack British pop groups? First, the just-barely there PM Blair is the only participant in this illegal war (well, okay the Aussies, but who really cares about them). Second, careers and the music business are mutually antagonistic.
