My one Sinéad O'Connor story is that while grocery shopping in Stephen’s green centre years ago, the checkout lady said “God aren’t you the spit of yer wan Sinead O'Connor” to the woman in front of me with the tight haircut and two kids, to which she replied “ I am her”.
Cue ALL the checkout ladies going into simultaneous rapture and fussing over her.
There was also the night , while out in a pub crawl in Dublin, that we found her MTV VMA moon man behind the bar. She’d sold it for charity years before and the bar owner had bought it.
Anyway here’s Mandinka the first song Sinéad O'Connor song that BURST into my consciousness many decades ago #RIPSineadOConnor
