He told George Stephanopolous on ABC's "This Week" that this was a project he couldn't say 'No' to. "I'm a Christian, so I have a lot of faith in that old man upstairs. The people I know that have lost their faith along the way, a lot of that has been due to world starvation. So people who have become agnostic or non-believers, [questioning] that there's a creator, I know some of their main reasons [are] watching the world starve to death. They think God should intervene. And I think this is a way we can stand up as a human race and try to cure our problems ourselves." So, all we can do is bring awareness to it. So if we can get everybody together in the world for one day at seven or eight different places, and let the whole world stand together all at once, hopefully it's one big-enough outburst of one voice that it makes a difference. That's about all we can do and music is very powerful."
