There's a short article in the Oct. 1 issue of RS on page 17. There's also a
picture of Bono and Kirk Franklin with their heads together. Here's the
article if you want to read it:

"Hip-hop gospeman Kirk Franklin called upon a slew of talented folks,
including Mary J. Blige, R. Kelly, and Bono, to sing on his single "Lean on
Me," which will benefit Southern churches destroyed in a rash of hate crimes.
"When churches burn, it takes more than prayer to replace them," Franklin
says. It's a problem that gets left on the back burner, so I wanted people
who'd take the message further." Kirk flew to Ireland to record with Bono,
but he didn't stay long. "I flew back the same day," he says. "It was my
baby girl's first birthday the next day-that was just as important." And
Bono? "He was wonderful. Meet him and you'll understand why the dude's an
icon."

Hope this has been posted already.
