The lead singer of Irish band The Cranberries has been arrested following an alleged double assault on a flight from the US to the Republic of Ireland.

Dolores O'Riordan was detained after an air hostess was reportedly attacked on an Aer Lingus flight from New York to Shannon, County Clare, on Monday.

Irish police were called to meet the aircraft and during the course of the arrest, a policeman was also assaulted.

I'm sure I'm not being rude, but it's just your attitude

You know, I haven't seen/heard ANY '20th anniversary of No Need to Argue' pieces anywhere this year, and I have to assume that was entirely intentional.

she should be rapped across her fingers

john wahey (NickB), Monday, 10 November 2014 16:18 (nine years ago) link

for her punch up on aer lingus (for her punch-up, for her punch-up)

The song resulting from this incident will be truly terrible.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 10 November 2014 16:23 (nine years ago) link

It was the fearful night of November 9th.
She was returning home on a transatlantic flight.
She had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice.
Because in 2014, she paid the price.

She said I just slapped a hostess.
She said I just slapped a hostess.
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight.
What a sad and sorry and sickening night.
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight.
What a sad and sorry and sickening night.

Just had a thought:

The chorus of u2's "Get on yr boots" has the first part of this thread tile, quite prominently.

Was this what it was really about?

Oh dear.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 11 November 2014 22:49 (nine years ago) link

somewhat on that note: When I was playing No Need To Argue around the apartment in the last few days, my roommates commented on how O’Riordon’s voice is sort of the prototypical voice for ’90s female singer-songwriters

guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 11 November 2014 22:51 (nine years ago) link

lol yeah no precedent for that one

da croupier, Tuesday, 11 November 2014 22:58 (nine years ago) link

wonder what 90s female singer-songwriters sounded like before the prototype dropped in 1993

da croupier, Tuesday, 11 November 2014 23:02 (nine years ago) link

no references to sinead o'connor on the page. two references to "sundays" - but in the comment section

da croupier, Tuesday, 11 November 2014 23:03 (nine years ago) link

did they mean to write "postotype"?

I dunno. (amateurist), Tuesday, 11 November 2014 23:19 (nine years ago) link

or perhaps the follow-up line was "my roommates are idiots." (not going to give that link any clickthroughs)

one year passes...

In evidence read to the court, Inspector Tom Kennedy said the singer-songwriter's behaviour was at first erratic, then unruly, irate, threatening, irrational and aggressive.

"Ms O'Riordan was very belligerent," he told the court.

"She said 'you are not going to arrest me. I am an icon. I'm the Queen of Limerick, I pay my taxes, I pay your wages. I'm going to sue you'."

Man, when 90s alt rock icons fall, they fall hard, don't they?
