I read the New Yorker piece on Sinead last night, and this has been in my head ever since.... in about 7th grade, I think, this was one of my favourite songs. My brother had introduced me to this album, this song in particular, and I would sit in my room and play this on my crappy acoustic and sing my heart out.... To me, it was one of the most brilliant pieces of music I had ever heard. (it still is)
Can't get this out of my head for some reason.
This song came to mind after all the recent shootings and racial unrest...
The Baltimore #freddiegray depraved heart homicide charges & so many other recent police wrongs reminded me of this great protest song by Sinead.
