Sinead O'Connor: The Last Interview

Sinead O'Connor: The Last Interview

Sinead O'Connor

Melville House Publishing
2024
nidottu
A significant collection of interviews with the defiant, controversial, and ground-breaking singer, songwriter, and activist throughout her turbulent career . . . Brilliant, loveable, mercurial, troubled: Sin ad O'Connor was one of the most important Irish artists of the past 50 years. Her voice inspired awe, and her songs traversed the full spectrum of the human spirit, addressing both emotional despair and incandescent joy with glorious, fearless ardor. This collection covers the entire span of O'Connor's short life, in her own words. From giddy teenager to seasoned superstar, from her devotion to her children to her consistent and compelling passion for activism, Sin ad's message never wavered. Her interviews reveal a character that was complicated, confident, and clear. These conversations render O'Connor as an ingenue and as a flirt, in love and in strife, in turbulent times and calm; they follow her lifelong quest for spiritual truth; they flaunt her mordant, coruscating wit. In them, O'Connor lives through her meteoric rise to fame after releasing megasmash albums The Lion and the Cobra and I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got, and she recounts what happened when she ripped up a photo of Pope John Paul II on "Saturday Night Live"--a shocking act of protest that got her blacklisted at the time but has since earned her respect. Unguarded and unpredictable, O'Connor, in these interviews, is the woman who electrified the globe: imaginative, vulnerable, opinionated, and eloquent.

Temperamentiltaan juuri niin tulinen kirja kuin kirjoittajansa.Sinéad kertoo kaunistelemattomaan tyyliinsä kaikesta siitä, mikä on muokannut hänestä sen ristiriitaisen, ihaillun ja raivostuttavan hahmon, jona maailmanlaajuinen yleisö hänet tuntee.Ajeltuine hiuksineen ja terävine mielipiteineen Sinéad O'Connor on ihastuttanut ja ärsyttänyt miljoonia. Hänet muistetaan eritoten Princen kappaleesta Nothing Compares 2 You ja sen pakahduttavasta videosta. Suurimman skandaalin aiheutti puolestaan paavi Johannes Paavali II:n kuvan repiminen suorassa televisiolähetyksessä vuonna 1992.Sinead O'Connorin kirja on yhtä epätavanomainen kuin hänen uransa. Tyylilleen uskollisena hän puhuu suorasanaisesti vaikeasta lapsuudestaan, musiikillisista menestyksistään ja henkilökohtaisista tappioistaan. Mutta myös äidiksi tulemisen onnesta, jatkuvasta hengellisen täyttymyksen etsinnästä - ja musiikin voimasta, jonka avulla hän on selvinnyt.Sinéad O'Connor on irlantilainen laulaja ja lauluntekijä. Hän on julkaissut toistakymmentä kriitikoiden ylistämää albumia, ja ne ovat olleet useita kertoja ehdolla Grammy-palkinnon saajaksi.

"I hadn't met SinEad before. Her face was lively and expressive, captivating, with an indefinable air that encompassed fragility, strength, experience, intensity and something feral. We drank tea and talked. Eventually we moved to another room with a huge bay window and perfect daylight. I had set up a backdrop and we sat either side of a table. I gradually shot four rolls of 120 film - 48 frames - with my Rolleiflex while we continued our conversation. It's a gentle camera, with a leaf shutter that is almost silent. It has an easy presence and doesn't intrude in the way many cameras do."The book reproduces the full sequence of photographs from the shoot including all the outtakes. It gives a fascinating insight into both the subject and the photographic process as the frame is rearranged and develops over time.

Why Sinéad O'Connor Matters

Why Sinéad O'Connor Matters

Allyson McCabe

UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS PRESS
2023
sidottu
A stirring defense of SinÉad O’Connor’s music and activism, and an indictment of the culture that cancelled her. In 1990, SinÉad O’Connor’s video for “Nothing Compares 2 U” turned her into a superstar. Two years later, an appearance on Saturday Night Live turned her into a scandal. For many people-including, for years, the author-what they knew of O’Connor stopped there. Allyson McCabe believes it’s time to reassess our old judgments about SinÉad O’Connor and to expose the machinery that built her up and knocked her down. Addressing triumph and struggle, sound and story, Why SinÉad O’Connor Matters argues that its subject has been repeatedly manipulated and misunderstood by a culture that is often hostile to women who speak their minds (in O’Connor’s case, by shaving her head, championing rappers, and tearing up a picture of the pope on live television). McCabe details O’Connor’s childhood abuse, her initial success, and the backlash against her radical politics without shying away from the difficult issues her career raises. She compares O’Connor to Madonna, another superstar who challenged the Catholic Church, and Prince, who wrote her biggest hit and allegedly assaulted her. A journalist herself, McCabe exposes how the media distorts not only how we see O’Connor but how we see ourselves, and she weighs the risks of telling a story that hits close to home. In an era when popular understanding of mental health has improved and the public eagerly celebrates feminist struggles of the past, it can be easy to forget how O’Connor suffered for being herself. This is the book her admirers and defenders have been waiting for.

PEN SWORD BOOKS LTD

Sinéad O’Connor achieved worldwide success as an angel-voiced, shaven-headed Irish singer of heartfelt songs, but she was far more than just a pop star – she was also an activist and a survivor. Reeling from a troubled childhood at the hands of her violent mother, she spent 18 months living in a former Magdalene Laundry due to her truancy and shoplifting, and suffered her mother’s death in a car crash – all by the age of 18. Her pain, anger and compassion would turn her into one of the world’s greatest protest singers and activists. She would release ten studio albums during her 36-year music career - the second of which (_I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got_) would reach number 1 across the world and earn her ten million pounds, half of which she gave to charity. During this time, she would also advocate for survivors of child abuse and racism, and stand up for the LGBT community and women’s reproductive rights. Most notably, she would tear up a picture of Pope John Paul II during an episode of Saturday Night Live in order to protest at child sex abuse within the Catholic church, creating headlines around the world and derailing her career. Featuring six exclusive interviews with friends and peers who knew her, this is the true story of her extraordinary and courageous journey.

Dey Street Books

From the acclaimed, controversial singer-songwriter Sin ad O'Connor comes a revelatory memoir of her fraught childhood, musical triumphs, fearless activism, and of the enduring power of song. Blessed with a singular voice and a fiery temperament, Sin ad O'Connor rose to massive fame in the late 1980s and 1990s with a string of gold records. By the time she was twenty, she was world famous--living a rock star life out loud. From her trademark shaved head to her 1992 appearance on Saturday Night Live when she tore up Pope John Paul II's photograph, Sin ad has fascinated and outraged millions. In Rememberings, O'Connor recounts her painful tale of growing up in Dublin in a dysfunctional, abusive household. Inspired by a brother's Bob Dylan records, she escaped into music. She relates her early forays with local Irish bands; we see Sin ad completing her first album while eight months pregnant, hanging with Rastas in the East Village, and soaring to unimaginable popularity with her cover of Prince's "Nothing Compares 2U." Intimate, replete with candid anecdotes and told in a singular form true to her unconventional career, Sin ad's memoir is a remarkable chronicle of an enduring and influential artist.

A guide to the 10 power moves that have built Taylor Swift's superstardom and empire, from a former Strategist at Harvard Business School's Institute for Strategy Taylor Swift's genius is not limited to her singing and songcraft: as the founder of her own multi-billion dollar enterprise she has higher returns than 99.9% of hedge funds, and has built a stronger global corporation than nearly every other American conglomerate CEO. She is the only person that the US Federal Reserve and European Central Bank track with precision. She has a larger impact on the economy than most economists that have ever lived, and has done more for US antitrust law than any sitting member of Congress. There is a lot to learn from Taylor Swift. Global investment fund manager and former head of Strategy at HBS (and Swiftie ) Sinead O'Sullivan taps into the same genius that sells out stadiums and shuts down the internet to give Taylor--the CEO, the strategist--the respect she deserves. O'Sullivan sums up Swift's business savvy into ten big, teachable lessons, including: -Build a World (Not a Product) how to create value that is greater than the sum of its parts (or, how Taylor created the fan-centered Swiftverse that fosters community, belonging, and off-the-charts engagement) -Be Anti-Fragile how to embrace volatility, build resilience, and thrive in uncertainty--when your competitors can't (or, how Taylor gamed the chaos of Covid shutdown to own the airwaves)-Don't Just Play the Game, Change It how to rewrite the rules on your own terms when your chips are down (or, how Taylor almost lost control of her music catalog to Private Equity--but re-recorded all her masters and took them back)

Now, with her newfound abilities and the mysterious lens in tow, Tess must navigate life with Mr. Cleat and his nefarious housekeeper, who seem to be up to more than they let on. As Tess learns about the lens and its role in transporting her to other worlds, she discovers that behind Mr. Cleat's oily smiles is a darker intention: one that could bring the world to its feet. Can Tess keep her secret from Mr. Cleat, and figure out what he's up to? And what if the lens falls into the wrong hands? With the help of Violet and her friends from the orphanage, Tess can finally discover the truth about Mr. Cleat and, more importantly, herself.
