    She was massive in the nineties. Then she tore up a picture of Pope John Paul II to protest the child abuse the church was covering up and she got absolutely slated for it. She pretty much became a recluse after that so it’s not really surprising you don’t know of here.

    She never got a lot of airplay after she punk-rockedly tore up a picture of the fucking pope on national television (SNL). I never really cared for her music, but RIP queen. We could use a lot more artists like you.

    Whoa Sinead is dead? Damn. A friend of mine was completely obsessed with her. Before the internet was widely available, I once printed all her songs lyrics for him from the web, and totally made him a new birthday.
