That was lovely to read, thank you. I'll leave this here, in case you haven't read it. Her brother Joseph (brilliant Irish author) got her to write something for Dylan's birthday once, and I absolutely love how she went about it:
It’s so curious why you say you pay tribute to Sinead, when three of the clips you post feature a not terribly interesting, albeit Irish singer named Imelda May; with really no reasoning as to why, and only one of the three have Sinead in them. They were pals, and that’s fine, but not enough of a reason or tribute imho. I love your posts, but as a composer and pro musician, I must protest at this one. Think about it, if you were suddenly gone, who might jump on the LW bandwagon and might claim to represent you or your aesthetic, but could miss the mark. If this Imelda is a friend and hurting, apologies in advance, but it does nothing to further Sinead legacy or understanding. Many non musicians mistake the “late night at the Apollo/histrionic school” of musicianship for music, but know that it rings hollow for true musicians.
