She Was Right About The Boyz In Rome...

Years before the Boston Globe brought the
building down on the pompous jackasses
in Rome, Sinead did it on SNL in 1992.
Tearing up a picture of the man*
behind the Church's pedophilia enablement
program earned her withering abuse
from Catholics and Christians.

She wasn't wrong.
They were.

 I loved her music.
I loved her voice.
I loved her rage.
I loved her bravery.
I'll not see her like again.

 

*man - Pope John Paul II - who slow-walked and
sandbagged clergy abuse cases. For his efforts the
Boyz Club in Rome made him a saint..
