U2 singer Bono is stepping into the editor’s role for an issue of Vanity Fair. His issue, which will hit newsstands in July, will focus on Africa. (The photo of him and Graydon Carter is worth clicking on the link.)
Bono proposes that the magazine change its name to Fair Vanity, and he argues that stories should be more like 45s: “I don’t want the reader to be weighed down.”
But what if the writers want to do double albums?
Ooooh! I hope he gets his way with changing the name to Fair Vanity, but I fear the lawyers will nix this bit of creativity, as sometimes happens.
