One for all of you evil people who have been slating the rather-rubbish new Band Aid record now. Coldplay's Chris Martin has criticised people who criticise the record, arguing that they are, frankly, missing the point.
Speaking to Jonathan Dimbleby over the weekend Martin said: "I've encountered a lot of cynicism about this Band Aid thing and I think it's kind of nonsense because to me it's not about the song or about the words, it is about the images you sometimes see in the videos. But to me it would be no different if a bunch of pop stars were just standing about banging pots and saying we're interested in this thing that's going on in Africa. It doesn't matter what you're doing, we could all be doing a headstand together it's just a fact that enough people from one culture are coming on TV basically and saying 'What about this problem?"
He's right of course. Though there's no word yet on when the 'pot banging headstands' project will be staged, nor whether there will be slightly lame repeat of the exercise in twenty years time. Presumably if there is Bono will want to bang the same pot.
