...part-time job in a convenience store, the salary from which barely keeps her two kids in popcorn and orange drink, which is all they have for food. And that says nothing about her environment.

Staged by Amnesty International to mark its 25th anniversary, the ''Conspiracy of Hope'' tour hopscotched across America by chartered 707 jet with the aforementioned lot, plus Sting and Canadian Rocker Bryan Adams, along with assorted one-night stand-ins including Bob Dylan and Bob Geldof. Very nice crew indeed, but really, aren't benefit concerts wearing a trifle thin? ''Everyone wanted us to go away after Live Aid,'' concedes Bono, an unquenchable Irishman. ''The music industry would be delighted...
