i wish jj was my dad Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 6 hours ago, JFK-1 said: Good BBC article describing her effect on Irish society outside her music. A quote from it. O'Connor's death has cracked open a complex and deep emotional network in the Irish psyche. Once again, through her, a pain about growing up in a place where little truth-telling occurred, is flowing. Speaking out against the Catholic Church at a time when few people did sparked outrage and hostility and risked her career, but Ireland is now realising the good she did. How Sinéad O'Connor changed Ireland https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-66330500 It's a good point. Incredible to think about the transition that Ireland has undergone in the last 30 odd years. She played a big part in that so she should have been really proud of herself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her tearing apart photo of Pope live on US TV must be one of bravest acts ever performed by an artist. People like Joe Pesci showed themselves to be pieces of shit for their reaction, a man more interested in protecting his beloved religion than for listening to what was being said. Shame on whoever runs Princes estate for refusing to allow Nothing Compares 2 U to be shown on documentary. Religion still controls the minds of so many who refuse to acknowledge the hypocrisy of their beliefs compared to their actions. One hell of a singer, one hell of a human.
