Sister Sinead - Kris Kristofferson

“Sister Sinéad” is about the time Sinéad O’Connor was booed during Bob Dylan’s 30th anniversary concert. On Saturday Night Live the night before while singing the lyrics, “good over evil,” she had pulled out a photo of Pope John Paul II and tore it apart three times and tossed the pieces in the air saying: “Fight the real enemy.” The audience loudly expressed their disapproval of her action and Kristofferson came on stage to comfort her. I was touched by his support and her courage.

 

A decade later, when the epidemic of child abusers in the priesthood was exposed, she was proven correct.
