“I'm at the doctor's office. I'm in the waiting room. And there's this guy on his cell phone, talking really loud. Does he think he owns the place? Apparently. I think this is so offensive. But you have to remember: It doesn't take a cell phone to make people rude. People were rude before there were cell phones.”

English musician

Martin Cooper is an English musician known for his long association with Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. He first joined the band in 1980 and has served as its secondary keyboardist and occasional saxophonist. His work is tied mainly to the band’s evolving sound, contributing keyboards and, at times, saxophone. The available record identifies him chiefly through that role rather than through a separate solo career.
