I think I just insulted myself.

one month passes...

To all of the people who left negative comments about Sineåd: I think if you watched the VH1 behind the music episode of hers you might gain some understanding of her and realize that music was her way to get out of the hell she was living in. We all deal with the horrors of our childhoods differently, some people take a chance and try to better themselves and help other people in a posotive way by writing beautiful songs or taking an unpopular stand. Other people choose to sit on the sidelines of life and critisize everyone who is doing something. It is very easy to hide behind a computer keyboard and be critical.

Yeah, Alex in NYC, you heartless wench.

I do think she needs to switch to decaf: And I'm a Sinéad Fan. I have all records...even the showtunes one.

You always know a newbie to ILM from comments like "It is very easy to hide behind a computer keyboard and be critical." ..like, no shit.. That's why we do it. If we had any real motivation, we would be working.

Yeah, Alex in NYC, you heartless wench.

Please, Ned, my hate-plate is full right now. I'm too busy being demonized by frothing DMB fans to re-direct my attention back to this ancient debacle. One customer at a time, please.

For what it's worth, at least Sinead made interesting music once upon a time.

I'd have to lose a bit of weight to be able to hide behind a computer keyboard.

URRRRGGHHHH!! MUST. RESIST. URGE. TO. ANSWER...AAAAGGHH! IT's TOO STRONG!

I don't think anyone's decrying Sinead's troubled life, it's merely her ludicrous, self-serving, contradictory and utterly presumptious open letter that's the subject of ridicule here. However Sinead feels she needs to handle her demons is her own business, and good luck to her, but please....she should've thought twice before hocking up that dollop of phlegmy malarkey.

"Dollop of Phlegmy Malarky"
A great lost romance novel of the early 1860s. Worlds better than "Spoot of Wooten Manor" or "Dulcinea and The Naughty Pewtersmith"

++in-jokey terminology as "grebt" and/or "otm."
otm is in-jokey?
"in" yes, but "jokey"??

Y'know, if she grew her hair a bit and bought a nice frock, she might make a nice wife for someone.

But no plastic.
