As a bittersweet/melancholy type I was drawn to her music. I didn't appreciate how rare she was and honestly haven't thought about her in years. This is life. People and their voice move in and away from us all the time and we don't appreciate any of it enough. Watching a performance on Letterman (Youtube) yesterday she literally looked like a 2023 kid superimposed onto a 1988 mullet-haired dude band. Time traveler maybe? For every fragile human in the public eye there are millions o others slogging through life.
I was too young and dumb to realize how cool Sinead was when I watched her rip up the pic of the pope on stage. I just wasn't ready yet-- mature enough?-- for such a moment.
I was reminded if Sineads unwavering authenticity when she was on my favourite podcast last year promoting her book. When she died, I felt heartbroken that we had failed to show her the love she deserved. The outpour of admiration came too late. I hadn't quite realised how much of an activist she was until she died and people were sharing old footage. It was a huge loss for Ireland, for music and for everyone who fights for justice.
