Most people remember Sinéad O'Connor one of two ways: as that angelic, lovelorn figure in the video of her smash "Nothing Compares 2 U," or for tearing up a picture of the pope on Saturday Night Live. Her 20-year career has been marked with pop stardom and accolades, but also with controversy and misunderstanding. Even as she takes the stage at Joe's Pub in New York, one can sense the polarity. The venue only seats 150, enough to house a handful of fans and some of the biggest papers in town. But O'Connor, 40, isn't there to impress anyone. Her priority is her new album Theology (Koch), a two-disc set inspired by the Old Testament—and a project that is, interestingly, being pitched to the Christian market by publicists (one of whom arranged this interview). At the show, O'Connor plays none of her hits; it's just her and another guitarist, performing Theology in its entirety. In a flowing red dress, O'Connor looks almost motherly—serene, radiant, self-assured. Her voice is still powerful, and, combined with the ancient text, it's nearly prophetic. But just as the audience begins to heed her admonition, O'Connor, between songs, makes a crude joke about the female anatomy. By show's end and a few f-bombs later, we're all convinced: old Sinéad hasn't gone anywhere.

HUH? Well that's some pretty deep theology there lady.
With her language and such in the rest of the interview, sounds like she'd fit right in with Anne Lamott, Brian McLaren, Jim Wallis, etc.
Sinead... yeah she’s a nutcase, but what a voice. Why does God bless so many moonbats with such gifts?
BINGO...you nailed it! This is exactly the kind of people (false teachers) who are promoting her in "Christian" circles.
My sentiments exactly.
She’s as loony as all get out...but is, nonetheless, an amazing singer. (She was also quite attractive with hair way back in the day.)
Next thing ya know Brittany will have an epiphany.
Luke 5:32
What a mess.
Perfect subject for CT.
When she repents maybe then I’ll consider myself out of line. Then again, when she repents, I won’t be posting anything like this because she won’t be saying it.
If Jesus is like energy and Al Gore is anti energy is Al the anti-Christ?
What a self-righteous, self-absorbed, lost individual !
Well, scientists tell us that the Universe is energy adn matter is compressed energy.
And since Jesus is no longer here in physical form, then it is his energy that one feels.
So she isn’t as “out there” as it’s being made to sound.
LOL! In fact, ROFLOL!
Only if you believe Sinead is ‘of Christ’ I guess!
she kinda is that isn’t she... (of course, I’m perfectly humble— just thought I’d throw in that disclaimer)
Huh? Are you being facetious?
Just another pantheist.
Nothing new here.
