One interesting thing is that people were mad at O'Connor for going after Pope John Paul II, who got overwhelmingly good press (largely for Cold War reasons, I think). But history will say O'Connor was closer to the mark.

Not me. I cheered. And I've hated Joe Pesci ever since the following week when he had that damn photo taped back together.

but I think Joe Pesci is Pope John XXIII. Look it up. They're the same person.

Absolutely. She was treated like a pariah for it, but she was completely right.

I remember that moment-& certainly after that appearance, MSM talked about as a wacko who needed either to dry out in rehab or get psychotherapy. No one in media took her seriously-they treated her as an embarrassment.
-
My only quibble here is that the Media *did* take her seriously. By treating her as an embarrasment. The Media at the time gaslit her and the remaining members of Media at the time knows full well that they gaslit her.

I took my mom on the NBC tour at 30 Rock a few years ago and the pages who give the tour explained that O'Connor is still banned from the building b/c of that.

Which is a fucking joke. she is an amazing vocalist. I just hate the feeling that one day we’ll wake up and find she went through with committing suicide. I hope I’m wrong. So ya.. a lot of people owe her an apology for a lot of things.

It seems like a big difference between Sinead and Kaepernick is there doesn't seem to have been much of a positive contingency on their side of the issue, exclusively mockery or condemnation, which is sad and unfortunate.

If you were alive in Canada in 1989, you couldn't not be aware of the Mount Cashel Orphanage story about the wholesale child abuse perpetrated by the Christian Brothers. Sinead O'Connor was entirely believable - why people chose not to believe her is mind boggling.
-
At the time it didn't get nearly the press. Probably she had seen the film The Boys of St Vincent which I think was also Canadian?
