No Rock And Roll Fun

AMERICA? MAYBE NEXT YEAR: Coldplay haven't played a single gig in the US this year - presumably relying on the whole sharing-a-bed with Gwyneth thing to do the promo work for them - but they had planned to an event in LA. Now, though, the station hosting the Chris Martin/Johnny Buckland gig has pulled the date making a vague promise of doing something in 2005 instead. Now, who wants to offer 200 words on why British bands have trouble making it big in America?
