Rest Easy Sinead 😢

 

 

 

Oh my.....

She had such a troubled life. I hope she's at peace now.

How sad and unfortunate. Sometime today or tomorrow, I will have to pull out my copy of “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got” and try to give it a listen. May she R.I.P.

OMG I just saw this. Just last Friday night I was listening to the opening of S7 of OUTLANDER because she's featured.  Man oh man. 

This would've been her latest work.

I always loved Sinead's voice.

May she rest in peace.

 

Fûck. She meant so much to me as a teenager. I know she had such a bitter and tragic life from the jump, yet she made something of her life through her incredible voice and songwriting. I’d always hoped she’d find some peace, if not happiness, which I suppose was asking for too much.

 

 

 

A legend.

Two threads:

 

 

So much of Sinead's image in the US will always be associated with her SNL appearance. There was such a visceral anger toward her, personal threats against her (including being followed after the show ended), and nothing but disdain from the show itself (there were several Lorne-patented mocking sketches, Tim Robbins, that free speech hero and the host that week, didn't even acknowledge her, and the next week had Joe Pesci giving a truly disgusting monologue about her). She never tried to backtrack, even when it probably felt like the whole country was against her. And she was completely right.

I didn't grow up with Sinead O'Connor at all - know absolutely none of her songs outside of Nothing Compares 2 U (and really only the chorus of that one) - but when I saw the headline earlier today, my heart sank. There's just this weird "it's not time for this yet" feeling when a celebrity dies at such a young age. It makes you wonder what that person could have brought to the world had they lived a decade or so longer.
