I don’t remember that. I liked Sinead’s protest of the pope and Catholic Church, though.

I am sure RicOlie_2 would have something to say about that.

It was a great protest against the institutionalized defense of child molestation. I love incorporating music into protest and she had a clear goal in mind that didn’t involve her playing the victim. She also took a huge risk because it, to an extent, ruined her career.

What she was specifically protesting was totally lost in the noise of outrage at the time. Frank Sinatra famously threatened to “kick her ass” if ever they met. And it’s only in recent years anyone began openly talking about sexual abuse in the church.
