I forgot I had saved this in the other place, Sinéad in disguise at an anti-Sinéad protest ❤️✊

This was in Saratoga SPAC. I remembered this interview I was also there in Saratoga.

Amazing, I’ve never seen this, thank you!

Embodied courage with a soprano that ranged from piercing to caressing. Bless that nun that gave her a guitar and a Bob Dylan songbook.

xxxlilbaphometxxx.bsky.social•25 days ago

She was right. She was always right.

turey01.bsky.social•25 days ago

Actually, Jesus was the one who originally said that.

Also fuck off anyone in your feed that said "new pope is so cool and hip"

charles116.bsky.social•25 days ago

Sinead had 4 children,
One son committed suicide at 17.
I suspect her hatred of the church
is based on her family's life experience.

hazyrecollection.bsky.social•25 days ago

A suspect a lot have people have turned from the church for similar reasons.

I know I did.

angabird.bsky.social•25 days ago

The world still owes her an apology.

God, this line has been in my head for days!!

freemanclayworks.bsky.social•25 days ago

Since she passed away I’ve listened to this song at least once a week. It’s brilliant. And power-full and gets me every time.

lpsoto.bsky.social•25 days ago

I was reading her book when she passed and just getting into I’m Not Bossy… album. I was so happy she was planning to tour the US in 2025. I also lose it every time at “I love my boy”. I miss her too.

bentlysgram8.bsky.social•25 days ago

Way before her time 😏

They hated the hippies, they’ll hate anything that isn’t subservient to them.

She was right about the pope and the catholic church.

Sinead was right, Sinead was strong! What a voice, in more ways than one!

England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
It's the home of police who kill blacks boys on mopeds
And I love my boy and that's why I'm leaving

Be your art like nobody is watching. Feel your art like nobody cares.

marly9.bsky.social•25 days ago

I will never forget Sinead. Never. I feel we may have had kindred hearts because I didn't turn my head to injustice either. I will never forget that beautiful lady and voice that went on her next journey earlier then I was ready for.

You gotta post the song! It's a work of art.

daxleone.bsky.social•25 days ago

Remember: The world hated her for calling out the anti-christ ... says a lot about the world

kosmokatgirl.bsky.social•25 days ago

The world hated Sinead for calling out many things of injustice in the world. Like her song, black boys on mopeds. Or the fact that she called out Prince for being somewhat misogynistic. She should’ve been here today, but yet we failed her.

carlajwilliams.net•25 days ago

It was a little more than "somewhat misogynistic"--he was downright predatory towards her.

james-mccormick.bsky.social•25 days ago

Anybody ever hear a positive story about Prince?

kosmokatgirl.bsky.social•25 days ago

That he donated money to nonprofits in indiana before he passed , he did help a collective of people of coloring into the music business & how to break out . Hollywood functions behavioral problems and rampant abuse

daxleone.bsky.social•25 days ago

You are so correct ... sad

tessarita.bsky.social•25 days ago

sidfisnishious.bsky.social•25 days ago

I have been revisiting her catalog and, DAMN, what a legend.

johncasa.bsky.social•24 days ago

Amazing 🤩

lairdtra.bsky.social•25 days ago

I took a picture of this gorgeous portrait last March. It was in a bathroom stall in a pub in Killarney.

lilboopsy.bsky.social•25 days ago

Sinead was an amazing soul. Trived of holding truth to power.

jianliyang.bsky.social•25 days ago

I am wondering why so few on Bluesky have signed on the letter to support Bishop Budde. To help build the resistance, you only have to lift your finger. Sign on the letter to show those in power that we are behind Bishop Budde.

This artist was my hero, her words my mantra, my entire second decade on the planet. Still know all the words today.

thegirlbudd.bsky.social•25 days ago

I saw her sing this at City Winery in 2014 after the murder of Michael Brown.

trexshortarmkiller.bsky.social•25 days ago

Miss her so much.

What the world did to her for exposing the church was a great dishonor

shachez.bsky.social•25 days ago

Was just thinking about this song.

trishei.bsky.social•25 days ago

I love that she’s still a heroine in Ireland. All the more reason to move there.

thebue.bsky.social•25 days ago

My wife, daughter, mother in law and I are moving to Ireland in about three years also. It’s a wonderful progressive country. We’ve go to get out of Texas. It’s killing us.

dochasisgra.bsky.social•24 days ago

The far-right is on the rise here too, the current coalition is a dangerous mix of centre right and regressive "independents", our neutrality is under threat, trans healthcare is the worst in the EU, and the housing crisis is huge. Move if you must but take off the rose-coloured glasses.

thebue.bsky.social•24 days ago

No rose colored glasses here, just relativity glasses. In relation to the US, Ireland is progressive. If you’d like to trade places, because Ireland is so bad, step right up. I’ll throw in a cowboy hat, you’ll be living in Texas.

dochasisgra.bsky.social•24 days ago

My son is trans, no thank you. I wasn't doing oppression Olympics at all, I just deeply disliked the whiny tone of a middle class cis probably white lady who is worried about her mortgage and didn't say one thing about the people already at risk of death under the new regime. I know how bad things

dochasisgra.bsky.social•24 days ago

are there, I'm deeply sorry for it and especially for the people at the thin end of the wedge, but many USians have a fantasy idea of Ireland which gets very frustrating, and the fight against fascism is on everywhere now, you're just 5 minutes ahead of us.

trishei.bsky.social•24 days ago

She blocked me. I think I hit a button. Or two. 🤣

thebue.bsky.social•24 days ago

Not sure what both sides of the exchange looked like but it appears there’s some oppression Olympics and she was going for the gold. Ive met Irish people who have claimed, what the English did to Ireland is equal or worse than slavery in the US.

trishei.bsky.social•25 days ago

Awesome. Love it there. 🙌🏼

houseofbast777.bsky.social•25 days ago

In Texas myself so I totally get that sentiment!

trishei.bsky.social•25 days ago

I love that she’s still a heroine in Ireland. All the more reason to move there.

Why are people so afraid of strong women?

hutchymon.bsky.social•25 days ago

Ask Harris about that

lemtriste.satan.social•25 days ago

Why are men*

Fixed it for you

gobills1108.bsky.social•25 days ago

This is fair...I am a man, i am not afraid..in fact I welcome strong female leadership in the US. Look what it's done around the world. However, in the US there a lot of women that hate on other women. I'll never understand that, but it was front and center in 2024

lemtriste.satan.social•25 days ago

Oh yeah for sure, but I would argue that most women tear down other women because of men and how patriarchal society still is.

I have no hard data on this, so I might be wrong, but that would be my best guess.

gobills1108.bsky.social•25 days ago

Let's summarize...Men fear women outshining them; women that can't or won't, are envious of women that can and will No matter what the root cause)

healthysouldier.bsky.social•24 days ago

This sounds much more accurate than your original statement.

hazyrecollection.bsky.social•25 days ago

Perhaps because their husbands take out their frustration on their wives because they can't lash at a strong woman with no repercussions.

darkcafe5.bsky.social•24 days ago

MAGA white women also.

bluedot-redtown.bsky.social•25 days ago

I love how she sang those words, too.

gyarkow.bsky.social•25 days ago

that quote is actually from the bible, john 15:18, and has been misattributed to sinéad o'connor, it's not from her song 'black boys on mopeds'.

3freedoms.bsky.social•25 days ago

That’s verbatim from the song lyrics, calm thyself

awwthats2bad.bsky.social•25 days ago

John 15:18: “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.”

Do you understand how quotes work? That’s a rhetorical question bc the answer is clearly no.

"England's not the mythical land of Madam George and roses it's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds. I love my boys and that's why I'm leaving"

She was far greater than people will ever know.

She would be screaming at the state of the world today. Her heart broke. ❤️

The IRA, which she supported nearly killed my when they blew up the shop I'd been in half an hour before. I was 10 years old.

Can't say I was ever a fan, my mistake and my loss but I got bogged down by 'Nothing Compares to You' which I really didn't like but I heard a song not so long back, loved it and I'm annoyed that I've no idea what it's called 🫤
