26 July 2023 (Special Edition) - Sinead O'Connor - Mandinka

I really REALLY REALLY dislike having to do special edition posts.  

For those new to the blog, I do these when a musician passes away, so, you can probably figure out what's going on here.

This song was Sinead O'Connor's third single, and her first in heavy MTV rotation, from her debut album, The Lion and The Cobra, which is fantastic.  It's a straightahead rock song, and it led to her becoming an international superstar and being in the position to tear the pope's photo in half on Saturday Night Live

"Fight the real enemy." - Sinead O'Connor

I was supposed to see Sinead O'Connor live in 1995, as part of the Lollapalooza tour.  She departed about a week before I was scheduled to attend.  I'm sorry that I never got to see her live, Her eccentricity and raw spirit are going to be missed in the music world.
