How I love thee, Chris Martin. Let me count the ways…

You came on stage and sang your heart out last night for your New Mexico fans, even though the concert wasn’t sold out.

You sang Johnny Cash and Pink Floyd songs, which reminds us that you have an understanding and passion for music beyond your eminently poppy, crowd-pleasing melodies.

You cursed with your adorable British accent.

And last, but not least, you played at Journal Pavilion in Albuquerque, which has FREE parking. A concert venue that holds thousands of people and has FREE parking. There is a God.
