RIP Sinead O'Connor

[maumann]

Don Novello could go on SNL and joke about "Pope on a rope soap" and people just adored the Father Guido Sarducci schtick. And then Sinead rips up a photo and the outrage commences. Humans are stupid.

Loved her on The Sinatra Group. RIP

The Irish Times obit (https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/...oconnor-acclaimed-dublin-singer-dies-aged-56/) has a picture of her that leads me to believe she had cancer.

EDIT: Lord, that's a huge picture. Click the link if you want to see it.

No, that's just been her style for a while.

Her Wikipedia page is pretty wild. The kid, multiple marriages, her conversion to Islam, being a radical Irish Republican, having a fight with Prince.

The Rob Harvilla 60 songs that define the 90s podcast episode on Nothing Compares to U is well worth a listen. Hell, the entire series is glorious. One of my favorite pods out there.

Remember Joe Pesci's monologue the next show?

No. What did he say?

 

[Regan MacNeil]

Can't remember the exact words since it's been a while, but the gist was "She wouldn't have done that if I were there."

Tough guy. Why am I not surprised?

[Regan MacNeil]

It was worse than I remember. Pesci threatened to slap her, and she got a lifetime SNL ban.

And on the flipside of Pesci was Kris Kristofferson. Thread from a few years ago resurfaced today:

I can't believe they kept the clip on their official account. What, are they ****ing proud of it?

From the comments section ...

the funniest part is how tearing up a picture
is what pissed ppl off more than the rape of children

Kristofferson is on a whole other level. Rhodes scholar, roads scholar, sees the whole picture.

We should all revisit this thread at 8:48 p.m. on Aug. 10.

Loved her on The Sinatra Group. RIP

One of the all-time great bits, and one that would never ever ever air today.

"Issue #4: Milli Vanilli. What is this ****** crap?"

"I'm looking at you I'm thinking 14 ball corner pocket."

Luke Campbell: "Man I told you I ain't got no talent!"

The wildest thing about that skit, in retrospect, is it includes dip**** Victoria Jackson, who surely says much worse and means it.
