Mel Gibson Taps P.O.D. For ‘Passion’ CD

A source tells Jeannette Walls of MSNBC.com that Mel Gibson has P.O.D. to perform a song that will be included on a CD released simultaneously with the DVD of ‘The Passion of the Christ’. “This is the real deal-brutal, honest, touching,” frontman Sonny Sandoval said of ‘Passion’. “This film made me check my own heart and my own faith. It’s not the fairy tale story of Christ we’re all used to. So, even before anybody wanted to be involved, in the heat of the controversy, I wanted to give back and contribute to this.”
