I can't find it on the internet, and didn't get to hear the whole thing.
I'm looking for the info. If you heard it can you give a synopsis or better yet point me to where i can find a transcript or something?

Per NPR...
"In the current issue of GQ magazine, writer Andrew Corsello reports that Richie has become a musical phenomenon in the Arab world."
Highlights of the story include Richie's theories on why he is so popular in the Arab world, including the fact that his light complexion makes him comfortable to almost any ethnic group in the world. His best theory is that he handles conflict/anger in his music with a high dignity. He cites the song "Sail On" as an angry break-up song, but the protagonist's anger is thoughtful, elegant, poetic, and dignified --
"Lord, I gave all my money and my time
I know its a shame
But I'm giving you back your name"
Richie reasons that everybody appreciates a love song, but handling betrayal and hurt with aplomb...well that's "Truly" a gift.
