I went to my local bookstore in Woodstock, The Golden Notebook today and I signed four hundred books for them. When the signing was done they gave me a book. Why Sinéad O'Connor Matters by Allyson McCabe. I chatted with Jackie from Golden Notebook about Mikal Gilmore in February 1990 giving me an advance cassette tape of I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got (he was in the UK to interview me for Rolling Stone and had just come from spending several days with Sinéad) and how much it had meant to me.
This was two hours before it was announced that she had died.

"I like Sinéad. She’s a passionate little singer. And I understand her saying, “I hate this job.” It’s a horrible job. People don’t realize how horrible it is. Making music is great. The exploitation of it is horrible. And I think you’ve got to be hard as nails. Maybe that’s where Madonna has the edge on us. Maybe she doesn’t think it’s horrible. I think it’s degrading, humiliating — so does Sinéad. Whereas Madonna’s above being degraded or humiliated. She flirts with it. And perhaps that bravado is in some ways to be applauded, but at what cost to her soul, is my question."
—Joni Mitchell interviewed for Rolling Stone, October 1991.
"How do you feel about another new queen of rock, Sinéad O’Connor?"

Shane Patrick Lysaght MacGowan (25 December 1957 – 30 November 2023)
Shane was a British-born Irish singer-songwriter and musician best known as the lead vocalist and primary lyricist of Celtic punk band the Pogues.
He also produced solo material and collaborated with artists including Joe Strummer, Nick Cave, Steve Earle, Sinéad O'Connor, Ronnie Drew, and Cruachan.
Frequently noted for his exceptional songwriting ability as well as his heavy alcohol and drug use, MacGowan was described by The New York Times as "a titanically destructive personality and a master songsmith whose lyrics painted vivid portraits of the underbelly of Irish immigrant life.”
Rest in Power.
The band and Shane’s widow, Victoria Mary Clarke, back campaign to finally try and get The Pogues Christmas classic ‘Fairytale of New York’ to number one.
The 7” single is available to pre-order now and All profits from vinyl sales to benefit Dublin Simon Community - a charity loved and supported by Shane and Victoria.
