Number one song notwithstanding, she always was a troubled soul. I hope she is now at peace.

Saint Peter will no doubt have some questions about that time when she tore up the picture of Pope John Paul II on Saturday Night Live.

She had an interesting voice, but she was the walking billboard for mental illness -- which lead her to say and do so many crazy and often evil things in her life.
It's too bad she didn't get the mental health help she so desperately needed instead of just falling deeper and deeper into her own insanity.
I think of her, the Dixie Chicks, and KD Lang, as the queens of destroyed careers because they just couldn't keep their stupid mouths shut when they weren't singing. All great talents who threw it all away to be evil!!!

The lunatic witch called Pope John Paul II "the real enemy" - - but - -
- - but now she'll have to beg him not to send her to Hell for all eternity.
As we used to say in Brooklyn - - "Chinky-chose always shows!"

I’m 70 years old and all I remember about her is her shaved head. #6, Pope JPII doesn’t get to make that decision - it’s God’s alone.

RIP Sinead. You had your issues and problems, but you were certainly not a boring woman. Her version of the Cockles, Mussels song still sends shivers down my spine. Shame she shaved her head, because she was a beautiful woman when she had her curls.

As the RCC had pedophile priests that sexually abused young children, her criticism of the pope was justified.
That she turned to alla, well, that could cost her.

Sinead O’Connor once appeared at the Garden State Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ a number of years ago. The National Anthem was always played at the art center before each concert. However, Ms. O’Connor (a citizen of Ireland), when informed of this, refused to go on stage and perform if the National Anthem was played.
The management of the Garden State Arts Center had to reluctantly acquiesce to Sinead O’Connor’s
demand, but they vowed that she would never appear again at their concert center.
Ironically, the next week, Crosby, Stills & Nash, hardly fans of Ronald Reagan and Patrick Buchanan, performed the National Anthem in three-part-harmony at the start of their concert at the Garden State Arts Center, which was greeted with a standing ovation by the appreciative members of the audience.
I’m very sorry that Sinead O’Connor died at age 56, but now possibly, she and fellow former Roman Catholic George Carlin can discuss the importance and relevance of the Roman Catholic Church for
the rest of eternity. Dominus vobiscum, Ms. O’Connor.
