Chris Martin and I Have Something in Common

@U2 reported this not-so-shocking revelation yesterday:

COLDPLAY frontman Chris Martin has revealed that his unborn baby is already a huge U2 fan.

The lead singer, who married Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow, has revealed he loves their music so much he is playing their songs to his first child.

Any of you who know me very well know that U2 is also Bailey's favorite band. She's been listening to them since before birth - mostly The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, and Pop. She also heard alot of the Boston DVD, and the Slane Castle DVD was her birthday present from Daddy. The first song we played for Bailey after she was born was "Where the Streets Have No Name." I held her in my arms -- so tiny! -- and we danced around the hospital room while I sang along. She'll never remember it, but I always will.

Heh heh, nice John. No better song to hear as your first song ever. So much passion and inspiration.

What a great story, it brings tears to my eyes to imagine you dancing with a new born. Helps me to remember the memories I store in my heart of my sons. Even if she can't remember, it will always be a part of her.
