Something inspirational:
“I grew up in Ireland in the seventies there was no such thing as therapy… I mean we didn't even have cappuccinos until 1998! So for me music was therapy, it was also the place where one could speak about himself, where he was allowed to speak about his traumatic experiences.”
SINEAD O'CONNOR
RIP - at peace.
I was saddened to hear about Sinead's death. She was a powerful woman who called out wrong doing in an industry notoriously blind. I hope she is now at peace with her son.
Yes, I was also sorry to hear about her death. Time will tell whether it was suicide, but it is clear from her writings, she was dealing with a mental illness and lost her son to suicide. All very sad.
But she also wasn't without controversy. I hope that over time, the good she put out, will outweigh the controversy that she courted. While we have points that want to make, what's important is how we make those.
