We are trying to deal with the Sally Struthers thing," [Bono] said, referring to the Christian Children's Fund's spokeswoman. "When you see people humiliated by extreme poverty and wasting away with flies buzzing around their eyes, it is easy not to believe that they are the same as us. It's Africa's otherness, it's exoticism that attracts the filmmakers of Babel, Blood Diamond and The Last King of Scotland, style appropriators Ralph Lauren and Paul Simon, and luxury travellers who embark on $20,000 safaris.

But what I've found is, there's a change -- people are speaking out against the war and becoming more aware and tuned in. These have been things I've been singing about for a long time," says Michael Franti, the frontman of Spearhead, which headlines the mainstage tonight at the Winnipeg Folk Festival. "Dropping bombs in the name of peace, it didn't make any sense to me. And that's what I've seen in my travels -- our war machine has done the opposite. We haven't gotten rid of our enemies, we've created more," he says.
