Chris Rock is having a busy year so far "as the only black guy at the Van Halen concert, the only black guy at the Cure concert, and the only black guy at the White Stripes concert," and he reviews a recent free concert Coldplay gave at Madison Square Garden:

Creepy Boards, a New York band is contesting that Coldplay's song Livin La Vida Loca "Viva la Vida" was stolen from them after Chris Martin, Coldplay's lead singer, saw them perform at the CMJ festival in New York. As WOW points out, Creepy Boards's song is ironically titled "The Songs I Didn't Write." And they have a video, which is naturally on YouTube where they be callin' Coldplay out! It's just like Ice T and Soulja Boy! Or not. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUhFLiw6h6s]
There's some similarity but I dunno that I'm entirely convinced. Music is so derivative any how. Anyway, what say you?
