Rolling Stones' Richards records gospel music

Bible Belt Blogger: Rolling Stones' Richards records gospel music

Frank Lockwood

Earlier this month, I told you that Keith Richards, one of Rock n Roll's wildmen, is featured on a new Christian music CD. Since then, the story that first appeared in Lexington has hopped the pond to London and all points west, east, north and south.

This afternoon, around 3 p.m.edt, I'll be posting an update about this strange-but-true story.

I'll also answer a question on the mind of many fans, who want to know if Richards' turn to religion was sparked by his recent fall from a tree, earlier this year. Richards, you may recall, hit his head and was hospitalized.

So that's what lies ahead here today. Thanks for being part of the Bible Belt Blogosphere.
