It's much more likely that you do know Sinead's version, which was an enormous global hit, than Prince's or The Family's which are relatively obscure by comparison

I still remember her being booed at that Dylan show. The whole SNL thing was huge.

What's the point in pretending you don't know Nothing Compares 2 U? Weird cornball hipster cred? Is that it?

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I’d forgotten this.
The crowd at MSG booed her for a full two minutes and she just stood there in defiance.
They missed the point of her tearing up that photo. Most people did.
Some retort to it tho.

Sinéad O'Connor faces down a booing crowd at Madison Square Garden, and stands by her remarks about child abuse in the days after her controversial Saturday Night Live Appearance

I can hear the hook in my head, but it sounds like Annie Lenox for some reason :lol:
I can't conjure the verses or anything else
I genuinely can't tell if this is a bit!

It's like saying you're unfamiliar with, I don't know, Wonderwall.

It's an insanely famous and very commonly known song!

Imagine paying money to see someone in concert just so you can boo them. She’s getting your money, you already lost.

This was at the Bob Dylan 30th anniversary concert, the same one where Vedder and McCready played Masters of War (i.e. the audience probably wasn't there to specifically see Sinead).
