Episode Summary
The loss of Sinéad O’Connor hit me harder than I would have expected. I hadn’t been much of a fan in her glory days and while I respected her, I hadn’t paid her much mind in the intervening years. I suppose I’d imagined she’d always be here and I looked forward to seeing what an old lady version of Sinéad might get up to and then suddenly she was gone. In the outpouring of press in the wake of her death, I learned a lot about her and saw many clips and I started to feel embarrassed about my previous disinterest. The film about her was made available on the anniversary of her death so I watched it. I felt I owed it to her. To keep reading I Let You Down Sinéad, visit the Songs for the Struggling Artist blog.
