#she'd let her hair grow out so ppl wouldn't recognize her ^_^

for a couple years there, Sinead would hang out in the square with all the other regulars whenever she was in Atlanta. She had a thing for big doofus guys, so, lots of people on that scene were faced with the realization "I don't have a chance here" despite being so charismatic cool and hot. HA HA.

Her entrance into our community was standard: she put 10$ in the kitty for a beer party, then showed up and demanded her cut. <456

though it took me a long time to really act on the lesson, she showed me a lonnnnng time ago why never to get involved with The Arts outside of the immediate world, the immediate community - not to sell my artistry but rather individual works & engagements. Despite / while scrabbling after moneys in various ways in The Arts, her lesson stayed in my mind, taking years to become comprehensible.

…her manifest unhappiness was palpable, no matter what she did or how gentle she could make her presence, no matter how much she distanced her offstage life from her onstage one

that deal with SNL actually messed her heart up 💔

one of the more tragic figures from the old days, in my perception

I'm heading in the same direction, no question about it.

Sorry about the world, ms O'Connor, acquaintance of yesteryear. You'll be missed, by people you made connections to. We were all bettered by your short stint in our world. I hope we were able to give you some measure back - to make you happy for a little while.
