Sinead O’Conner was one of the most controversial – and melancholy – Irish singers of the 90’s. She shaved her head to rebel against traditional roles for women, wore shapeless clothing, and was usually angry about something either religious or political. In 1992 she famously tore up a picture of the Pope on SNL and SHOCKED Lorne Michaels and everyone else at the time. (Funny how not-so-sensational that seems now.) She railed against the Catholic church for sexually abusing children, but managed to get HERSELF ordained a priest. Maintaining that she is NOT bi-polar, Sinead converted to Islam last year – hence the traditional attire at a recent UK concert.

Let us know how that sharia law works for you Sinead. Catholic Church will look like rainbows and unicorns when it’s too late.
Well, she might not be bi-polar but she is some kind of crazy.
Nothing like going back to the 7th century a.d.
Mental illness and religiosity go hand in hand.
Something nice: the outfit covers her GHASTLY collection of skin ink.
To rebel against traditional roles for women, only to convert to Islam shows a lack of reason.
Poor thing needs help. She has been suicidal many times and is obviously still mentally ill.
Wilson, so true. Women are rubbish in that culture.
