The recent passing of iconic musician Sinead O'Connor has reignited an important conversation about mental health and the need for compassion, support, and proper care. Throughout her accomplished career, O'Connor was remarkably open about her own struggles with conditions like bipolar disorder and complex PTSD. Her candidness helped break down stigma, but also revealed just how broken our mental healthcare systems remain. You can read the full article here: ⁠https://markspencer1.substack.com/p/how-sinead-oconnor-showed-us-that⁠ In 2017, O'Connor gave a painful interview about the isolation she felt as someone struggling with her mental health: “Why are we alone?” she said. “People who suffer from mental illness are the most vulnerable people on Earth. You've got to take care of us. We're not like everybody.” She also encouraged people to be there for anyone dealing with these issues: "If you have a family member that suffers from mental illness, care for them, tenderness, love, care for them. Visit them in the hospital, don't dump them in the hospital and bugger off," she said. Her words ring true for so many who feel abandoned when they need help the most. In this extended podcast, I speak frankly about my own struggles and challenges and my mission to take this on the road globally. I explain how I hope to raise awareness and to also provide a space for all of us battling mental health challenges, or even physical health challenges or prejudice of whatever shape or form they take, to support each other as we push to increase the awareness and the support for people struggling. I also speak about the situation Sinead faced, Her memoir, Rememberings. and what it tells us about the failings in the mental health services. Additionally, I elaborate on how music can be used creatively and cathartically to help us heal, or at least to support and ground ourselves in the absence of any other support services available. Finally, I show you exactly what can be achieved with very little technology to create your own tracks and share a snippet of my latest track, which is called Lost, and is an expression of my emotion after loss and grief. You can purchase the full track here: https://markspencer1.gumroad.com/l/lost?layout=profile If we honor Sinead properly, we will learn from her openness and her struggles. We will have those difficult conversations about abuse and trauma. We will stop tolerating inadequate mental healthcare. And we will build a society focused on healing, not stigma - one where people's lights are not extinguished too soon. O'Connor deserves that lasting impact. May she rest in the peace she could not find in life.

With the recent passing of Sinéad O'Connor on July 26, 2023, we felt it was only appropriate to pay tribute to this legendary outspoken Irish singer. In this episode, we will explore the life of Sinéad O'Connor through bits of her 2021 memoir Rememberings as well as her songwriting, including a track-by-track exploration of her 1987 debut, The Lion & The Cobra. We'll examine her complicated life, from her abusive childhood to her many loves, her religion... and of course, her controversies in the media. Please join us as we mourn the loss of this fiery, outspoken artist. Trigger Warning: This episode discusses child abuse, abortion, and suicide.

Allyson interviewed Sinéad for NPR in 2021 in connection with her autobiography Rememberings.  As guitarist and songwriter Vernon Reid wrote, “Acknowledging that Sinéad's life story can be a difficult, contradictory mess, McCabe painstakingly relates this magnificent, irreplaceable artist's tale to her own heartfelt story, showing us in the process how and why so many of us also connect with Sinéad.” A little more on Allyson McCabe, who is decidedly Gen X. Before turning to writing, reporting and production fulltime, she taught in the English Department at Yale. You've definitely heard hermwork on NPR's flagship showslike Morning Edition and All Things Considered.

Sinéad O'Connor ist nicht mehr auf dieser Welt. Das ist sehr traurig. Und während viele sich an “Nothing Compares 2U” und das zerrissene Papstbild erinnern, ist das doch ganz schön wenig. Deshalb sei heute allen noch einmal ihre Autobiographie ans Herz gelegt und als kleine Zugabe gibt es dieses Interview: Guten Morgen!Liebe Hörerinnen und Hörer, liebe Leserinnen und Leser,vielleicht geht es euch heute früh noch nicht so gut, vielleicht habt ihr gestern in einer Bar noch einmal ausgetrunken, bevor sie ab morgen wieder geschlossen sein werden.Drückt lieber noch einmal die Stopptaste, trinkt einen Kaffee, wascht den Zigarettenrauch aus den Haaren, geht eine Runde um den Block, bis ihr wach seid.Willkommen zurück!Diese Einleitung war der bereits 2. Versuch über das Werk zu schreiben, kurz, bevor die Bars wieder einmal geschlossen wurden.Seit 6 Monaten scheue ich mich vor dieser Rezension und prokrastiniere, und eigentlich ist die TL;DR Zusammenfassung auch schnell und voller Überzeugung heruntergeschrieben:Lest Sinéad O'Connors Autobiographie “Rememberings”, sie ist das beste Buch der letzten Dekade und die nachfolgenden Zeilen sind ein paar Hinweise, Zusammenfassungen, Überlegungen, die - leider - diesem Werk sowieso nicht gerecht werden können. This is no fishing for compliments, sondern Fakt.Spoiler Alert/Triggerwarnung: In einer ersten Fassung dieser Rezension hatte ich es tatsächlich vermocht, mich auf meine Empfindungen zu beschränken und de facto nichts zu verraten, aber das heißt nichts anderes, als mich selbst zu wichtig zu nehmen, wenn es eigentlich um ein wirklich herausragendes Buch geht.Die Triggerwarnung stelle ich für sehr schwer auszuhaltende Schilderungen von physischer und physischer Gewalt voran.In einem Interview in “The View”, einer Show auf dem Sender abc hat Sinéad O'Connor ihre Autobiographie als “wichtigsten Song, den sie je geschrieben hat” bezeichnet.Unschuldig genug geht es los. Sinéad O'Connor beginnt ganz von vorn. Mit den Augen eines Kindes beschreibt sie ihre Familiengeschichte, die 1966 in Irland beginnt: wer sind die Großeltern, wer sind die Eltern, wo haben sie sich getroffen, wann sind ihre Geschwister geboren, alle Namen werden genannt. Eine verwirrende Anzahl der männlichen Personen trägt den Namen John. Dazwischen eingesprenkelt kurze Bilder von Begegnungen und Beobachtungen: die Eltern des Vaters, die Portwein trinken gehen, weil sie sich lieben. Die wüsten christlich geprägten Flüche des Großvaters mütterlicherseits, wenn er Frauen im Fernsehen oder auf der Straße sieht, die seiner Meinung nach unsittlich gekleidet sind.Der Vater lässt sich scheiden und erhält - ein für Irland außergewöhnlicher Fall - das alleinige Sorgerecht für die gemeinsamen 5 Kinder. Doch Sinéad und einer ihrer Brüder wollen zur Mutter zurück. In ruhigem Duktus, offen, ohne Scham oder Wertung beschreibt Sinéad O'Connor ihre Erlebnisse. Ihre religiösen Erfahrungen, wenn ihr Jesus erscheint, während ihre Mutter sie unbarmherzig zusammentritt. Wie sie bei einem Unfall auf einem Bahnhof schwer verletzt wird, als sich bei einem fahrenden Zug eine Tür öffnet und sie mit voller Wucht trifft. Danach kann sie keine großen Plätze mehr ertragen, Angststörungen sind die Folge. Ihre Mutter ist eine Kleptomanin, Sinéad ihre Komplizin. Sie kommt auf eine Boarding School für “schwierige” Mädchen, auch dort verstörende Ereignisse, wenn eines der Mädchen schwanger wird und ihr Kind weggenommen wird. Aber auch die Möglichkeit zu musizieren. Kurz vor der Veröffentlichung ihrer ersten Platte mit 18 stirbt ihre Mutter.Sinéad O'Connor wird zur Ikone, ihre Interpretation des von Prince geschriebenen “Nothing Compares 2U” macht sie weltberühmt und kommerziell erfolgreich. In einigen Kapiteln von “Rememberings” geht sie auf einige ihrer Begegnungen mit anderen berühmten Musikern ein. Die mit Prince ist ohne Zweifel die verstörendste, Lou Reed ist ein Feiner, über Anthony Kiedis lacht sie ganz gut.Nach ihrer 3. Platte dann der Riesenskandal, als sie in Saturday Night Live ein Bild des Papstes zerreißt. Ich kann mich nicht erinnern, dass ihre Motive dafür ernsthaft diskutiert wurden. Als Kritik an der katholischen Kirche wurde es damals als geradezu terroristische Handlung verurteilt. Aber das war vor dem Internet und während heute ziemlich sicher ihre Stimme gehört worden wäre, war es damals einfach erstmal mit der Karriere vorbei. Da wurden mit Straßenwalzen ihre Platten öffentlichkeitswirksam exorziert, sprich zerstört, und in den Medien wurde sie als Irre hingestellt. Für sie ein nicht unwillkommener Abgang von der großen Bühne, die kein Popstar, sondern ein Protest Singer sein wollte.Das Papstbild, dass sie zerriss, hatte im Schlafzimmer ihrer Mutter gehangen. Fast 20 Jahre danach begannen die weltweiten Enthüllungen und Skandale über den systemischen sexuellen Missbrauch, den Umgang mit Sündern, das System von Strafeinrichtungen in Irland, in denen unverheiratete Mütter gequält und ihre Kinder entweder weggenommen wurden oder unter schrecklichen Bedingungen starben. Mit dem Zerreißen des Bildes in einer großen Show wollte sie gegen die im Namen der katholischen Kirche verübten Gräueltaten protestieren, die nicht nur in der Kirche, sondern eben auch in den Häusern stattfanden. Für uns kaum vorstellbar, wie es sich in der irischen Theokratie lebte, in der das Verprügeln von Kindern in Schulen und in den Familien Standard war und  von Generation zu Generation weitergegeben wurde; in der man keine andere Wahl hatte, als den 1. Boyfriend zu heiraten, keine Verhütungsmittel; in der es bis 1985 illegal war für Frauen nach der Hochzeit zu arbeiten, die gezwungen waren, ein Kind nach dem anderen zu gebären, und - wenn zu offensichtlich unglücklich - auf Valium gesetzt wurden. Fest ihren Überzeugungen verpflichtet, auch wenn es sie zum Paria macht. Wenn die Geschichte richtet, steht sie ohne Zweifel auf der richtigen Seite. Ihre Schilderungen der Einflüsse auf Irland, nicht nur durch die katholische Theokratie, sondern auch politisch-historisch durch Großbritannien, zeigen ein großes Bewusstsein für Ungerechtigkeit, von den Institutionen zu den Menschen in den kleinsten Winkel hinein. Nie bezeichnet sie sich als Antirassistin, ihre individuellen Handlungen, die oft konträr zu den gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen sind, zeigen sie jedoch als solche. Die Wucht ihrer Autobiographie entfaltet sich dadurch, dass sie, die immer Priesterin werden wollte (und irgendwann auch war) nicht predigt, sondern in ihrer eigenen Stimme schreibt.Zu ihrer Musik gibt sie in einem Block von “Rememberings” einen Überblick zu jeder Platte, erklärt das Warum Weshalb Wieso Mit Wem. Was ich nicht wusste ist, dass eine Vielzahl ihrer Liedtexte aus Scripture, also biblischen Texten, zusammengesetzt ist. Es gibt viele Erzählungen und Beschreibungen ihrer Erlebnisse, die anrühren ob ihrer Schönheit und auch sehr viele Spass. Nach dem Kapitel mit dem Zerreißen des Papstbildes gibt es einen Bruch, der erst gegen Ende des Buches erklärt wird. Der 1. Teil ihrer Autobiographie, der bis 1992 reicht, wurde zwischen 2010 und 2014 geschrieben. Danach sind ihre Erinnerungen an die letzten 20 Jahre stark eingeschränkt. Aber ich will ja nicht noch mehr spoilern.“Rememberings” ist ein besonderes Buch, ein literarisches Werk allererster Güte. Es hat mich angefasst - das ist Code für “zum Weinen gebracht”, aber auch wütend, fassungslos und glücklich. Ein kühles Interesse an der Biographie ist unmöglich. Die Berichterstattung über Sinéad O'Connor ist nach wie vor skandalgeprägt, ihre Darstellung in der Öffentlichkeit oft die einer Irren. Offen geht sie mit ihren psychischen Erkrankungen um.Sinéad O'Connor ist eine außergewöhnliche Künstlerin, Musikerin und Kriegerin.Danke fürs Hören und Lesen. Wie zu Beginn versprochen, sind meine Zeilen nicht im Geringsten diesem Werk gerecht geworden. Bitte lest es selbst. In einer Buchhandlung habe ich in die deutsche Übersetzung geschaut, die mir - soweit ich das einschätzen kann - gelungen erscheint.PS: Hier noch ein relativ neues Interview mit Sinéad O'Connor und den respektvollen Moderatorinnen von The View: This is a public episode.

Shuhada' Sadaqat (born Sinead Marie Bernadette O'Connor; 8 December 1966 – c. 26 July 2023), known professionally as Sinéad O'Connor, was an Irish singer, songwriter and political activist. Her debut studio album, The Lion and the Cobra, was released in 1987 and charted internationally. Her 1990 album, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got, was her biggest success, selling more than seven million copies worldwide.[14] Its lead single, "Nothing Compares 2 U", was named the year's top world single at the Billboard Music Awards.[15] O'Connor had chart success with Am I Not Your Girl? (1992) and Universal Mother (1994), both certified gold in the UK,Faith and Courage (2000) certified gold in Australia, and Throw Down Your Arms (2005) went gold in Ireland. Her career included songs for films, collaborations with many other artists and appearances at charity fundraising concerts. O'Connor's 2021 memoir, Rememberings, was a bestseller. O'Connor consistently brought attention to issues related to child abuse, human rights, racism, organised religion and women's rights. Throughout her music career, she spoke about her spiritual journey, activism and socio-political views as well as her trauma and mental health struggles. In a 1992 Saturday Night Live performance, she tore up a photograph of Pope John Paul II to protest abuse in the Catholic Church, triggering controversy O'Connor changed her name to Magda Davitt in 2017. After converting to Islam in 2018, she changed it to Shuhada' Sadaqat,while continuing to perform and record under her birth name.

Brian and Murdock celebrate the life out of time of the Irish protest singer Sinead O'Connor and explore the culturally defining moment that was her 1992 SNL performance.

Sinead was a firebrand onstage, but her 2021 memoir Rememberings reveals her to be funny and unpretentious and not very interested in fame. She was a protest singer cast in the role of pop star. Topics discussed:* Ghosts in the piano, writing songs to the rhythm of a rocking chair* Why do some children of abuse mourn their parents so deeply?* That time she shaved her head* A bizarre anecdote about Prince, who wrote “Nothing Compares 2 U”* How she managed to sneak the Pope moment onto “SNL”* Four children with four different fathers* Morrissey gets the last word* Pivot to Israel: What is going on? * Kevin Spacey exonerated, but huh, there's a pattern here* Graphic novels are cool

Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor died this week at the age of 56. A trailblazer, feminist and advocate for social change, O'Connor will be remembered for her outstanding contribution to music and her courage in speaking out against the status quo. A fond friend of The Women's Podcast, O'Connor last joined podcast presenter Róisín Ingle for an extended interview in 2021, while promoting her memoir Rememberings. Today, to celebrate her life and her achievements, we bring you that conversation again, recorded in the conservatory of her home in the Wicklow countryside. Rest easy, Sinead. Hosted on Acast.

NIMH Ep #603 Sinéad O'Connor, Irish singer who rose to fame with ‘Nothing Compares 2 U,' dies at 56 According to NBC News Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor has died at the age of 56. “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad. Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time,” the singer's family said in a statement to The Irish Times and the BBC. A cause of death was not given. The artist, who courted controversy throughout her long career, rose to fame with her 1990 rendition of the Prince song “Nothing Compares 2 U,” which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 that same year. Her death comes one year after her 17-year-old son, Shane O'Connor, died of an apparent suicide. She announced his passing in January 2022. For much of her career, she spoke candidly and openly about her spiritual life, political views and struggles with mental health, which she detailed in her 2021 memoir “Rememberings.” In 2018, O'Connor converted to Islam and changed her name to “Shuhada.” “This is to announce that I am proud to have become a Muslim,” she wrote on Twitter on October 2018. “This is the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian's journey. All scripture study leads to Islam. Which makes all other scriptures redundant.” #sineadoconnor #Vansilk1127 --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/van-silk/support

This is my first solo episode of Season 2 and I'm sharing my biggest lessons and rememberings of 2022. I had some really significant lessons handed to me last year and as I often do, I like to close out the year sitting in reflection of both my highs and my lows. I usually spend 2-3 hours walking myself through my year - deconstructing it - so that I can harness the pearls and gems of my journey. Today I'm sharing my FIVE biggest lessons. Some I felt I learned for the first time and some gems I felt came back into my awareness. I remembered them. Kind of like, "Oh yes, ... thank you. Thank you for this reminder of what I already knew."  This ritual is one that helps me remember that I'm wiser than I sometimes let myself believe and something tells me you are too. Hopefully this solo episode sparks a remembering in you and helps you reflect on what's coming through you to be heard, witnessed and healed too.  Some highlights from the episode: #1. Let yourself see the absolute truth of your life - without judgement #2. Don't shy away from tough conversations. It's a skill that requires practice. Don't overthink or overcomplicate it. Simply show up to the conversation that's right in front of you. #3. Focus on what you do know -- not what you don't. When you stop hyperfocusing on the unanswered questions of your life it gives space to have what is flowing towards you, to flow in. There is such a thing as divine order and by allowing yourself to find patience and cultivate deeper trust, you give permission for the Universe to deliver more than you thought possible. #4. Let support in. I share a story of how my lack of truly receiving has been blocking the sacred reciprocity of the giving + receiving cycle. Less vigilance - more softening. #5. Hold your fears and your desires lightly.  Allowing the seasons of life to truly come and go means that I can welcome, receive and release this process with more gratitude and presence. Learning to let things go so that you can be there to let life grow. There's no other way and this acceptance -- shall I say 'surrendering' has been one of my biggest lessons of 2022. Dive in and enjoy the episode. Thank you for listening to the podcast. I'm deeply honoured to have you be an active or new listener.  I have recently opened up some opportunities for women to work 1:1 with me in personal leadership coaching. This year my group program (ROOTS) is on pause … I can feel a deep level of 1:1 work that's emerging for me and I'm creating as much space as possible for what's coming through.   If you feel called to work with me, you can book a free discovery call right here. You can also reach out to me through private direct message on INSTAGRAM and we can take the next step. Lastly, we are almost sold out for my retreat that I'm co-hosting with the extraordinary Shirlee Williams in Puerto Vallarta Mexico in April. If you are interested, we only have ONE room left so if it calls to you, message me ASAP. Retreat INFO Website Please share, rate, review and subscribe to the podcast. It makes a massive difference in supporting this work and we deeply appreciate it. Blessings, L

30 years ago this week, Singer Sinead O'Connor sparked outrage when she tore up a picture of the Pope during her musical performance on Saturday Night Live.The fallout of that action is at the centre of Kathryn Ferguson's new documentary about Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares - which is in cinemas this Friday.Following the release of last year's Rememberings, O'Connor's biography, the film tells the story of Sinead's upbringing, subsequent success focusing on the early period of her career and the vindication of her actions at the time. Sinead O'Connor was ahead of her time.The documentary celebrates a maverick artist, who never compromised her personal integrity or artistry, who was often ridiculed, and deemed the mad Irish women who shaved her head, who spoke up for minorities, criticised the church for child abuse coverups, Magdalene laundries (which she had direct experience of), and Ireland's fight for abortion rights.These causes and beliefs are now mainstream but at the time, O'Connor was openly mocked for pointing out the abuses of power (especially in America, where she refused to allow the National Anthem to play before her concert) further fuelling an anti-patriotism sentiment around the Irish artist, that fundamentally altered her pop career, one that she never wanted anyway.“I'm not a pop star. I'm just a troubled soul who needs to scream into mikes now and then.”Sinead O'Connor was a protest singer, first and foremost. Joining Niall and Andrea to discuss the Sinead O'Connor film is pop critic Louise Bruton. We discuss her relationship with Gay Byrne, the parallels to Britney and MIA, that Bob Dylan tribute concert, and the aforementioned themes from the film. Hosted on Acast.

Brother Eric wanted apologize for last week's movie by picking a better thriller, 2019's The Operative starring Diane Kruger, Martin Freeman, and Cas Anvar.   Corrections: Yonatan “Yoni” Netanyahu, killed in the raid on Entebbe, was former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu's older brother, not his father.   Housekeeping begins at 16:27 during which we discuss the Russia-Ukraine war (a week old as of time of release so who knows what's happened since and reference to the incident on Snake Island turned into something other than a slaughter).   Brother J discusses the strangeness of the automobile market these days, driving on snowy roads, as well as the following audiobooks: Bright Lights, Prairie Dust; Capote's Women; Interview with the Vampire; Apparently There Were Complaints; Rememberings by Sinead O'Connor; Breaking the Chains of Gravity; and Fighting for Space. Eric discusses his daughter's new Samsung tablet for use with digital art.   Then they both discuss dishwashers and dishwashing. Neat!

This is no fishing for compliments, sondern Fakt.Spoiler Alert/Triggerwarnung: In einer ersten Fassung dieser Rezension hatte ich es tatsächlich vermocht, mich auf meine Empfindungen zu beschränken und de facto nichts zu verraten, aber das heißt nichts anderes, als mich selbst zu wichtig zu nehmen, wenn es eigentlich um ein wirklich herausragendes Buch geht.Die Triggerwarnung stelle ich für sehr schwer auszuhaltende Schilderungen von physischer und physischer Gewalt voran.In einem Interview in “The View”, einer Show auf dem Sender abc hat Sinéad O’Connor ihre Autobiographie als “wichtigsten Song, den sie je geschrieben hat” bezeichnet.Unschuldig genug geht es los. Sinéad O’Connor beginnt ganz von vorn. Mit den Augen eines Kindes beschreibt sie ihre Familiengeschichte, die 1966 in Irland beginnt: wer sind die Großeltern, wer sind die Eltern, wo haben sie sich getroffen, wann sind ihre Geschwister geboren, alle Namen werden genannt. Eine verwirrende Anzahl der männlichen Personen trägt den Namen John. Dazwischen eingesprenkelt kurze Bilder von Begegnungen und Beobachtungen: die Eltern des Vaters, die Portwein trinken gehen, weil sie sich lieben. Die wüsten christlich geprägten Flüche des Großvaters mütterlicherseits, wenn er Frauen im Fernsehen oder auf der Straße sieht, die seiner Meinung nach unsittlich gekleidet sind.Der Vater lässt sich scheiden und erhält - ein für Irland außergewöhnlicher Fall - das alleinige Sorgerecht für die gemeinsamen 5 Kinder. Doch Sinéad und einer ihrer Brüder wollen zur Mutter zurück. In ruhigem Duktus, offen, ohne Scham oder Wertung beschreibt Sinéad O’Connor ihre Erlebnisse. Ihre religiösen Erfahrungen, wenn ihr Jesus erscheint, während ihre Mutter sie unbarmherzig zusammentritt. Wie sie bei einem Unfall auf einem Bahnhof schwer verletzt wird, als sich bei einem fahrenden Zug eine Tür öffnet und sie mit voller Wucht trifft. Danach kann sie keine großen Plätze mehr ertragen, Angststörungen sind die Folge. Ihre Mutter ist eine Kleptomanin, Sinéad ihre Komplizin. Sie kommt auf eine Boarding School für “schwierige” Mädchen, auch dort verstörende Ereignisse, wenn eines der Mädchen schwanger wird und ihr Kind weggenommen wird. Aber auch die Möglichkeit zu musizieren. Kurz vor der Veröffentlichung ihrer ersten Platte mit 18 stirbt ihre Mutter.Sinéad O’Connor wird zur Ikone, ihre Interpretation des von Prince geschriebenen “Nothing Compares 2U” macht sie weltberühmt und kommerziell erfolgreich. In einigen Kapiteln von “Rememberings” geht sie auf einige ihrer Begegnungen mit anderen berühmten Musikern ein. Die mit Prince ist ohne Zweifel die verstörendste, Lou Reed ist ein Feiner, über Anthony Kiedis lacht sie ganz gut.Nach ihrer 3. Platte dann der Riesenskandal, als sie in Saturday Night Live ein Bild des Papstes zerreißt. Ich kann mich nicht erinnern, dass ihre Motive dafür ernsthaft diskutiert wurden. Als Kritik an der katholischen Kirche wurde es damals als geradezu terroristische Handlung verurteilt. Aber das war vor dem Internet und während heute ziemlich sicher ihre Stimme gehört worden wäre, war es damals einfach erstmal mit der Karriere vorbei. Da wurden mit Straßenwalzen ihre Platten öffentlichkeitswirksam exorziert, sprich zerstört, und in den Medien wurde sie als Irre hingestellt. Für sie ein nicht unwillkommener Abgang von der großen Bühne, die kein Popstar, sondern ein Protest Singer sein wollte.Das Papstbild, dass sie zerriss, hatte im Schlafzimmer ihrer Mutter gehangen. Fast 20 Jahre danach begannen die weltweiten Enthüllungen und Skandale über den systemischen sexuellen Missbrauch, den Umgang mit Sündern, das System von Strafeinrichtungen in Irland, in denen unverheiratete Mütter gequält und ihre Kinder entweder weggenommen wurden oder unter schrecklichen Bedingungen starben. Mit dem Zerreißen des Bildes in einer großen Show wollte sie gegen die im Namen der katholischen Kirche verübten Gräueltaten protestieren, die nicht nur in der Kirche, sondern eben auch in den Häusern stattfanden. Für uns kaum vorstellbar, wie es sich in der irischen Theokratie lebte, in der das Verprügeln von Kindern in Schulen und in den Familien Standard war und  von Generation zu Generation weitergegeben wurde; in der man keine andere Wahl hatte, als den 1. Boyfriend zu heiraten, keine Verhütungsmittel; in der es bis 1985 illegal war für Frauen nach der Hochzeit zu arbeiten, die gezwungen waren, ein Kind nach dem anderen zu gebären, und - wenn zu offensichtlich unglücklich - auf Valium gesetzt wurden. Fest ihren Überzeugungen verpflichtet, auch wenn es sie zum Paria macht. Wenn die Geschichte richtet, steht sie ohne Zweifel auf der richtigen Seite. Ihre Schilderungen der Einflüsse auf Irland, nicht nur durch die katholische Theokratie, sondern auch politisch-historisch durch Großbritannien, zeigen ein großes Bewusstsein für Ungerechtigkeit, von den Institutionen zu den Menschen in den kleinsten Winkel hinein. Nie bezeichnet sie sich als Antirassistin, ihre individuellen Handlungen, die oft konträr zu den gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen sind, zeigen sie jedoch als solche. Die Wucht ihrer Autobiographie entfaltet sich dadurch, dass sie, die immer Priesterin werden wollte (und irgendwann auch war) nicht predigt, sondern in ihrer eigenen Stimme schreibt.Zu ihrer Musik gibt sie in einem Block von “Rememberings” einen Überblick zu jeder Platte, erklärt das Warum Weshalb Wieso Mit Wem. Was ich nicht wusste ist, dass eine Vielzahl ihrer Liedtexte aus Scripture, also biblischen Texten, zusammengesetzt ist. Es gibt viele Erzählungen und Beschreibungen ihrer Erlebnisse, die anrühren ob ihrer Schönheit und auch sehr viele Spass. Nach dem Kapitel mit dem Zerreißen des Papstbildes gibt es einen Bruch, der erst gegen Ende des Buches erklärt wird. Der 1. Teil ihrer Autobiographie, der bis 1992 reicht, wurde zwischen 2010 und 2014 geschrieben. Danach sind ihre Erinnerungen an die letzten 20 Jahre stark eingeschränkt. Aber ich will ja nicht noch mehr spoilern.“Rememberings” ist ein besonderes Buch, ein literarisches Werk allererster Güte. Es hat mich angefasst - das ist Code für “zum Weinen gebracht”, aber auch wütend, fassungslos und glücklich. Ein kühles Interesse an der Biographie ist unmöglich. Die Berichterstattung über Sinéad O’Connor ist nach wie vor skandalgeprägt, ihre Darstellung in der Öffentlichkeit oft die einer Irren. Offen geht sie mit ihren psychischen Erkrankungen um.Sinéad O’Connor ist eine außergewöhnliche Künstlerin, Musikerin und Kriegerin.Danke fürs Hören und Lesen. Wie zu Beginn versprochen, sind meine Zeilen nicht im Geringsten diesem Werk gerecht geworden. Bitte lest es selbst. In einer Buchhandlung habe ich in die deutsche Übersetzung geschaut, die mir - soweit ich das einschätzen kann - gelungen erscheint.PS: Hier noch ein relativ neues Interview mit Sinéad O’Connor und den respektvollen Moderatorinnen von The View:Es verabschiedet sich Irmgard Lumpini, den Link zum Buch findet Ihr auf unserer Website lobundverriss.substack.com.

Merry Christmas! In the spirit of the season, the Gents decided to gift a special episode. 2021 was a big year for the podcast, with lots of memorable episodes and the introduction of numerous special guests. Pour yourself an eggnog or a special brew from Blindman Brewing, and join the Gents as they reflect on the year that was.

Sinead O'Connor has often been reduced to that person who shaved her head, tore up the picture of the pope, and refused to play the Star Spangled Banner.  It's no surprise, however, that there was more to the story, some of which she reveals in Rememberings.  There's the dreary Irish upbringing, the terrible physical abuse, the job dressing up as a maid to deliver  telegrams, the Rastafari gun-runners.  But nothing compares to her story about Prince, and what it's like to be invited to his castle, and what it's like to really, really not want his soup.  Martha and Christian learn all of this and more as they gaze into the most famous eyes in music, spellbound by her Irish tale.  

Words and Shit will be recorded in front of a LIVE AUDIENCE at the Stonewall International Poetry Slam (SIPS) Festival in Baltimore, Maryland, and we brought back a friend of the show for this very special occasion: Sha'Condria "iCon" Sices-Sibley joined us to talk about her new book, the journey to publication, and the life after. SHA'CONDRIA “iCon” SIBLEY is an Alexandria, Louisiana native and longtime New Orleans-based poet, writer, performing artist, visual artist, and teaching artist. A multiple-time national poetry slam champion, Sha'Condria travels the country performing, including at colleges and universities, and has made many television and stage appearances, including TV One's Verses and Flow and at the mainstage at Essence Music Festival. Her work has been featured on many outlets such as Huffington Post, For Harriet, Teen Vogue, BET, BBC World Radio, as well as in several exhibits, documentaries, and anthologies. She has starred in several stageplays, featured on musical projects with multiple national and Grammy-nominated recording artists, and co-wrote two short films, also starring in one. Sha'Condria is the author of a newly published collection of poetry, My Name Is Pronounced Holy: A Collection of Poems, Prayers, Rememberings, and Reclamations.

Sinéad O'Connor is an Irish singer-songwriter, who is famous worldwide as much for her music as for the many controversies that she has been a part of.  With her debut album in the late 1980s, she got her first shot at fame but it was in 1991 with her song ~ “Nothing compares 2 U” she became a worldwide sensation. Her signature bald look, her powerful music, and her bold voice made sure that she remained in the news constantly. Jussy unpacked her 2021 memoir “Rememberings” ~ which is a bittersweet non linear recount of her intriguing life. We had so much banter about our recommendations this week but we'll save our top three to post in stories as well as pics of Chole and Sinead rocking their shaved heads!

Laura Ramos es desde hace muchos años una de las grandes periodistas argentinas. Con sus columnas de los años 80 y 90 “Buenos Aires me mata” y “Ciudad Paraíso” modernizó el acercamiento del mundo del rock y la cultura a las grandes audiencias en los medios masivos y se convirtió en inspiradora de generaciones de periodistas que vieron en la frescura y originalidad de su prosa un estímulo clave para la experimentación con la propia escritura. A partir de su espectacular trabajo como biógrafa de los hermanos Branwell, Charlotte, Emily y Anne Brontë, en su celebrado libro “Infernales”, que le llevó ocho años de investigación y trabajo, Laura Ramos inició una nueva etapa de su carrera que ahora se consolida con la aparición de “Las señoritas”, un libro en el que reconstruye la vida de 20 de las 61 maestras norteamericanas que llegaron a la Argentina entre 1869 y 1898, a partir del plan educativo de Domingo Faustino Sarmiento. La presencia de esas mujeres, todas ellas provenientes de familias ilustradas, en su mayoría venidas a menos, y con gran vocación pedagógica sembró la semilla de la educación en el país, aunque no solo de la educación pública, que era la idea original, sino también de gran parte de la educación privada, ya que algunas de ellas finalmente aplicaron sus conocimientos en esa esfera. Uno de los temas clave de esta presencia pionera fue lo que Sarmiento no previó como obstáculo: la religión. En un país católico como la Argentina, la llegada de maestras protestantes fue vista por la Iglesia en varias provincias como una provocación, una imposición a vencer en nombre de la fe. Una vez más, Laura Ramos conduce a los lectores a través de una narración apasionante, trabaja con documentos desconocidos con el rigor de una historiadora y consigue transmitir conocimiento, historias de vida de mujeres deslumbrantes y el espíritu de las ideas del siglo XIX con el talento de siempre. En la sección Libros que si Hinde recomendó “Las gratitudes” de Delphine de Vigan y en El Extranjero comentó “Rememberings”, de  Sinead O'Connor. En Mesita de luz, el periodista y escritor Martín Rodríguez nos contó que libros está leyendo y En voz alta el guionista, dramaturgo y director de teatro  Javier Daulte nos leyó el comienzo  de “Tu cruz en el cielo desierto” de Carolina Sanin.

Episode Notes This week, Lorraine and Will cast their ears over Sinead O'Connors audiobook autobiography (or is it a memoir?), Rememberings. Mad stories about Prince and many others delight our hosts. Then the eyes join in for the Friends Reunion show. Lorraine (young) is very harsh on the botoxed Friends, while Will (old) is much more forgiving. Finally, you've got the rest of the show off, eyes! Metro Area's eponymously titled 2002 album comes under scrutiny. Will was too harsh on it and is now enjoying it much more by listening to it on headphones rather than in the car.

"Rememberings" es el título del libro con el que la cantante irlandesa reescribe su historia. Profundizamos junto a nuestro columnista musical Andrés del Real.

Sinead once asked me, not long after this interview took place if I would be interested in working with her on her biography. However those exchanges came to nothing, I am glad to say, because I prefer memoirs written by the person they are about, - as in Sinead's new book, Rememberings. She says she's not doing any more promo for the book, so I hope this podcast inspires some people to actually buy Rememberings. 

Acoustic Chef welcomes Sha'condria "Icon" Sibley to the show to discuss her new book "My Name is Pronounced Holy: A Collection of Poems, Prayers, Rememberings, & Reclamations.
