A wanted to tell you . When you recently mentioned your post; Sinead O’Connor- “Everywhere is war”
I went ‘back in time’ to read.
I remembered when it happened , I read the news .
In hindsight, and through the years since that fateful night, no article, no retelling of the day , no one , brought the story into darkness and back out again , except you.
“It was as if she tricked her fans. No one signed up for a march to the pyre. No one signed up for Joan of Arc. Now, it was her image that needed shredding and fast.
I felt it.”
Ironically, a week later , It was Grammies night and there stood Annie Lennox belting out a gorgeous tribute to Sinead . Singing ‘ Nothing Compares 2U‘ in her rock star, pure, crystal clear, ethereal voice. Breathing emotion into the audience with every word.
Thank you for your tribute to a powerful heroine who lived her truth. Painful and beautiful.
❤️
Powerful tribute, Adam. 🕊️
❤️
Powerful writing. Thank you. And may Sinéad rest in peace, and in power.
Snap.
I had never seen the Madison Square Garden video before, and I'm so very grateful that I have, now.
There aren't words, really... You said them, already, a soldier and prophet.
Thank you, Adam

And for me , because of you, I felt it all.
