She lived just down the road from me for years. Seemed like a very quiet, low-key woman any time I saw her around the town.

The cruel playpen of fame gushes with praise for Sinead today … with the usual moronic labels of “icon” and “legend”. You praise her now ONLY because it is too late. You hadn’t the guts to support her when she was alive and she was looking for you.

RIP to a real one.
Sinead O'Conner was always courage personified.

She knew what she was about even way back then

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

i think he's also kind of hoping that when he dies everyone will be calling him a "legend" and celebrating the "bravery" of his various bullshit stances, and i dont think thats how its going to go down at all. altho i dunno maybe it will.

I just heard from my dad, who knows a lot of people in the part of rural Wicklow where Sinead moved in the last few years, that whenever she was home, she hung a sign on the gate inviting any passing neighbours in for tea and a chat.

She was a painfully honest and unfiltered person, apparently extremely funny and self-aware, and swore like a sailor.

All jokes aside, we could do with more people like her.

Her funeral procession just went down the seafront in Bray, passing by her old home.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdrk0GQrfV4

It was very moving, just thousands of people, both locals and from all over the place gathered together to say goodbye and exchange stories about her :unsmith:
When the hearse passed, the crowd all started following it, which is pretty traditional.

edit: just wanted to say, that while Morrissey is right (blergh) about the media always jumping on her whenever she was having a bad time and representing her as an unstable lunatic when she pointed out cruelties and injustices baked into the system, it is not at all true to say she was not loved and appreciated when she was alive.

She lived in my home town for 15 years, she raised her two youngest kids here.
So many people have little stories about funny conversations they had with her, recalling times when she helped people who were struggling financially, or how she came to their open mic night and performed a few songs in front of an audience of maybe 10 people*. Most people kept these stories to themselves, or only told them to their friends, because spreading them all over social media would have felt like a betrayal of a nice, gentle, funny woman who was a part of our community. They are telling them now because that is what a wake is all about - sharing stories about the person who is gone.

thank you so much for sharing this.

to what you wrote i would add that i've had the privilege and luck to have met a huge number of musicians in my life, professionals and amateurs at all levels, and regardless of media shitstirring and reductionism, she has always had an enormous amount of respect in the music community, i know so many people who come from so many different genres and styles who appreciated what she did, both in terms of speaking truth to power in such a direct and powerful way, which imo is what all artists should be doing, but also just in terms of her incredible skill and musicality, both as a performer and a writer. she was absolutely loved and appreciated by the music world while she was alive too.

Having the respect of your peers is everything.

I have another strange little moment from yesterday's funeral - this pink chair was placed in the door of her old house, with her photo in front of it. I saw it and thought "I remember that chair! she used to sit out in the garden having a smoke in it"



Except it wasn't the old chair, that left when she moved out. This chair simply turned up on the beach on the day of the funeral. A guy called Adrian Duggan, who lives down by the beach found it, thought it was weirdly like her old chair, and put it in the doorway. It's not a big beach, and chairs are not something that you'd normally find there.
Just a silly, lovely little coincidence.
