Sinead's "War"

For the final July John Lennon celebration entry, we turn to Sinead O'Connor. In October of 1992, Sinead gained notoriety by ripping up a picture of Pope John Paul II on Saturday Night Live. Almost everyone who writes or speaks about that event conveniently forgets to mention that she tore the picture AFTER singing an a cappella version of Bob Marley's "War."

Years later, Sinead had the meaning of the event explained to her by John.
