The Magnet article is really good. So proud to support you, I love that you keep speaking out on behalf of artists. It's too easy to take art for granted, it's the wallpaper of our life many times. Someone makes all the art, and needs to get paid.
Sinead's rage and lyrics got me through my feelings around my dad's death. Especially at that time suicide was secret, and he essentially got deleted, 'disappeared' from my life. Sinead was the glue that held me together then, I learned many of her songs. She was a once in a generation talent. May her memory be a blessing, gratitude to the artists involved in her tribute.
Well said. We all need to take personal responsibility for how people in the public eye are treated in the media. If we are consuming the material that takes them down, or worse, contributing to it, we each have blood on our hands. It's too easy to forget the fragile humanity that exists behind the public persona ❤️
Music heals me in ways like nothing else can. Music helps me through every single day and I can't imagine a world without it. I believe it takes a great deal of courage to get in front of people and sing out your truths. Sinead was ridiculed for singing out and sharing her gifts of truths to the world. I can't place a monetary value on healing. My life depends on it. When I went through three rounds of chemo and seventeen radiation treatments, music helped me as much as anything and still does. I also thank all the people who generously support the arts. I wish you all a HAPPY Thanksgiving every day! Be well.
I rejoined your Patreon, so I'm supporting you as I can financially for right now, I also got your performance of Last Day Of Our Acquaintance from Bandcamp. Having said that, I was and still am heartsick over Sinead's passing, especially the way it happened. Suicide absolutely breaks my heart, because I've had ideations of my own at times. It always either passes and I feel better, or I decide it's not worth the effort and then it passes. Sinead must have been really hurting deeply to actually take the trouble to carry it out. You have to plan it, buy the gun and learn how to use it so you don't miss and permanently disfigure yourself, or buy the poison or learn to hook up the exhaust hose to your car. At any point there's the opportunity to reconsider. Those who are determined will find a way. None of us are to blame for anybody else's suicide, we nonetheless are left to make sense of it, miss them terribly, and ask deeply Why?

Very Interesting that we both wrote about SINEAD today on Substack!
Your music recently helped me be the bravest I've been in years. WIthout it, I wouldn't have been able to. Thank you, Amanda.
