an Irish singer, popular in the late 80s - early 90s. In 1990 she had an international #1 hit (the Prince - written "Nothing Compares 2 U") and a #1 album: "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got". She has great talent, an excellent singing voice and she can play some instruments and writes most of her songs, too. She has an extreme appetite for controversy however and in the autumn of 1992 it all backfired when on TV she ripped up a photograph of the beloved Pope John Paul II and shouted "Fight the real enemy!". By doing that she pissed off an entire planet because she dissed an icon admired by not just Catholics but Christians of other denominations, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, people of other faiths and more. Even atheists respected him for his stances on social issues and human rights. She did it to promote an album and it all flew back into her face. Sinead recordings were smashed by a steamroller in New York City. She had enough notority with her shaved head which didn't dilute her pretty features one bit. The picture-tearing incident put her fame in the trash can, as she never scored a big hit again.
Today she still says and does stupid controversial things in public, but her music career ain't going nowhere.

I saw Sinead O'Connor rip up a picture of Pope John Paul II on the Letterman show late night on TV. A few people cheered. Others gasped in disbelief.

it's a slang word for a male's ding dong. Comedian Bill Cosby used it on a comedy sketch on his "For Adults Only" comedy album.
Bill Cosby describes going down a hallway to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night nude and his daughter sees him like this, with his cock hanging down. She says, "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Daddy's got a wally wally."

another attempt by greedy men in suits to cash in on something. Basically "Christian Rock" is just another product that is pushed to be sold by men in suits sitting behind desks who are saying, "You stupid Christian youth, this is your music". Another product to be sold, conning you out of your money. Most Christian Rock has rock trappings but the melodies and song structures are lame, derivative and not very original or exciting. The lyrics are usually preachy, pompous, overbearing and propagandistic. True songwriters write from the heart, not according to some format or formula. If you want to hear entertaining rock'n'roll that covers themes that Christians can relate to, there is plenty of it. U2 is an excellent example, they ROCK. Also, Pink Floyd, Genesis, the Ramones, the Beatles, Rush, Peter Gabriel and many other big name acts cover mature topics, yes, even with religious references and inspiration. Jesus can be found in everything, if you look hard enough.
Christian rock ain't nothing but propaganda for right wing fundies who care about the "message" more the music. It ain't really too different, in that aspect, from so-called Nazi rock. It's just propaganda, a product. Most of it is really just lame "adult" pop anyway. "You Light Up My Life" is one of the most goopy and hideous pieces of trash to ever hit the charts and airwaves. "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" is a great slab of "Jesus rock" because it comes from the HEART, like rock'n'roll is supposed to do in the first place.

A controversial woman in the world of rock in the late 20th century to today. A washed-out bleach blonde who had her day yet still has to be in the limelight just to let you know she's here. She was married to Kurt Cobain of grunge superstars Nirvana and after he committed suicide on April 8, 1994 and Nirvana imploded, she read his suicide note tearfully in public, calling him an 'asshole'. Then shortly thereafter, she laid Percy Farrel of Porno for Pyros AND Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and backtalked about how bad in bed they were. Before she met and married Kurt, she worked as a stripper and even gave head to Ted Nugent when she was a preteen. She has a very long and dirty past, and this starfucker reputation has made her a target of bad media attention. Still, she put it on herself.
She gets blamed by some for Kurt's death but I don't think she did it. She fronted the band Hole, which was so-so at best, playing guitar and (ahem) singing? Then she went solo and got into legal issues with the Nirvana survivors. To this day she riles up concertgoers at her shows to chant 'The Foo Fighters are FAAAAGGGGSSSS!' which shows her gross lack of class and extreme immaturity. Always looking for attention, she even got up on Dave Letterman's desk and revealed her tits to him on TV. A total no class whore.

1. Courtney Love is the Yoko Ono of alternative rock. Yoko got blamed for the Beatles' breakup and John's death, but the others deny it. After all, she worked with them to compile and finally release the Beatles Anthology project which came out in 1995. Still, the rumors and conspiracy talk go on...
2. Courtney Love may have inspired other women to pick up a guitar, which is cool. But God knows there are SERIOUS female rock'n'rollers who DON'T play the 'sexual image/dumb bitch' bullshit (Go-Go's, Bangles, L7, Heart, Plasticines, Shonen Knife, etc.) that have talent and praise who need to be recognized. And Courtney Love with her stupid antics gives ALL these lady rockers a very ugly name. Disgraceful.
3. The pioneering Go-Go's are now in the Hall of Fame, and so are Heart and Joan Jett, women rockers. Shonen Knife is getting quite an audience now after paying their dues since 1981. Others like Julianne Hatfield and Sheryl Crow also keep their lives private and don't push this sexual angle, they let their music do the talking. That's why these female rockers are still around and Courtney Love is a used-up has-been starfucker broad that nobody really wants to have or be with. She's history.

1. it's a phrase expressed to mean "why do you care?" or "who gives a shit?". You say that when someone is telling you something that is meaningless, pointless, trivial and/or irrelevant.
2. a nice pleasant Top 20 reggae- pop hit by Robbie Neville, it charted during the spring of 1987.

1. I'm in my car with Dexter, who recently got married and joined his wife's cult. It's Christmas season and in my tape deck I'm playing a various artists charity compilation called "A Very Special Christmas". The last tune is a calm "Silent Night" done by Stevie Nicks. Dexter says that Stevie dresses like a witch. I say "so, wot's it to ya?. I don't believe in witches or witchcraft."
2. I'm putting out my stuff for my escapade as I just checked in my hotel room at the Circus Circus hotel and casino in Reno, Nevada. I turn on the radio. Being played is "The Final Countdown" by Europe, followed by "Wot's It To Ya?" by Robbie Neville. Let the festivities begin!

Parents Music Resource Center or for other people it's the Pushy Misanthropes Railing for Censorship. A bunch of fascist bitches who don't believe in the free expression of ideas. Stickering albums wasn't enough, founder Tipper Gore and her pestering friends tried to get ALL music that offended them banned. In the 90s many musical writers started to write more offensive music because the "Parental Advisory" sticker became a badge of honor. As a result, music offensive to the PMRC sold millions of units and scored high on the charts. The problem with all this is, people began to value "controversy" over artistic merit and the quality of popular music took a nose dive.
"We have a problem in America today. It's called censorship. We are the Ramones and we believe in the free expression of ideas and we have this to say tonight: FUCK THE PMRC!" Joey Ramone August 1990
