Sinead o'Connor didn't ignore the child abuse. The mainstream media came down on her like a ton of bricks. But then some victims started winning lawsuits against the Catholic church. As a lawyer, all Lin Wood has to do is represent just a few of the millions victims molested by Congressional Democrats and top Hollywood elites. Then the rest will come out of the woodwork.
I beg to differ fren. It was 25 years ago but we still remember it. i think her communication was clear if you look at a few details.
It was an a capella version of Bob Marley's War but she changed the lyrics to represent the plight of abused youth rather than racial inequality. She held up a photo of orphaned children in the rehearsal, but changed it to a photo of the pope for the live. The actual photo she tore up meant a lot to her as it had hung in her mothers home since 1978.
"The act itself, the form of protest she employed on Saturday Night Life, was inspired by Bob Geldof. She told Hot Press, "When the Boomtown Rats went to No. 1 in England with Rat Trap, [Bob] Geldof went on Top of the Pops and ripped up a photo of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, who had been No. 1 for weeks and weeks before. And I thought, 'Yeah, f---! What if someone ripped up a picture of the pope?' Half of me was just like: 'Jesus, I'd love to just see what'd happen.'"
