Sinéad O'Connor: The Last Interview: and Other Conversations by Melville HouseMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Full Disclosure: I received an Advance Reader's Copy of Sinead O'Connor: The Last Interview: and other Conversations edited by Melville House from Melville House Publishing via NetGalley. It should be available to the public October 29, 2024.
Sinead O'Connor: The Last Interview: and other Conversations edited by Melville House with introduction by Kristin Hersh is a collection of interviews with Sinead O'Connor that span her career basically from beginning up until her death. Reading it made me miss her so much! Not only was she an incredible singer, she always spoke her mind no matter what the consequences could be. Not enough people do that in the world! She had a tough life, faced so much criticism, and yet continued to make music that would smack you across the face with its beauty and insight. She was so much more than the woman with the shaved head, or the person who tore up the picture of the Pope on Saturday Night Live. If only people went after pedophiles as hard as they did Sinead after she did that. How dare she call out child abuse! Make no mistake, in reading these interviews, you can't ignore that much of what Sinead did was to call attention to all the different ways children are abused. She wanted a better world for her children and all children. She was way ahead of her time. Now excuse me while I go listen to No Man's Woman.
