Sinead O'Connor 'Missing' in the US After Bike Ride
BBC News ^ | 5/16/2016 | BBC News

Posted on 05/16/2016 10:49:10 AM PDT by usafa92

Wilmette Police "are seeking to check the well-being" of the 49-year-old, they said in a brief press release. Police were called after O'Connor "left the Wilmette area" for a bicycle ride at 0600 local time on Sunday, and had not returned after more than a day. No more information is currently available, police say.

O'Connor became a global star in 1990 with the worldwide hit Nothing Compares 2 U, a song written by Prince. She has recorded 10 solo albums but has also made headlines with controversial outbursts throughout her career. In 1992, she ripped apart a photo of Pope John Paul II during a live television broadcast and has been a strong critic of the Catholic Church over its handling of the child abuse scandal.

Apparently they believe she might have been suicidal.

Yet more proof that Chicago is in desperate need of a few good "community organizers".

And maybe more midnight basketball as well.

Frank Sinatra: Of course he is, you brownnoses. Look at you, you’re just swimming in my wake. Issue number three: [ points to Sinead ] This bald chick - what’s with her head? Let’s start with the chick. What gives, cue ball? I’m looking at you, I’m thinking: fourteen in the side pocket!

Sinead O’Connor: I can’t believe you’re talking about my hair with all the bloody starvation and suffering in the world right now.

Frank Sinatra: Come on! Swing, baby, you’re platinum!

Suicidal, yes a possibility. And O’Connor is not adverse to doing odd things for the sake of publicity.

But it always bothers me a bit when I see a woman riding alone on a bike path, especially if that path goes through a wooded area. It’s too easy for things to go very wrong very fast.

I kind of feel sorry for her given her childhood, but she seems to treat her own family rather poorly.

Seems like she just perpetuated the cycle.

Back when comedians actually made you laugh. Like Phil Harman. Too bad we never got any feedback from Frank on these SNL impersonations of him. Joe Piscopo was an excellent Frank.

has been a strong critic of the Catholic Church over its handling of the child abuse scandal.

She and I agree on that - permitting homosexuals to enter and stay the priesthood led to the rape of a lot of young boys - definitely a bad thing. Although she probably would not have phrased it as I have.

When priests rape little girls then, I guess you’re fine with that.

She might have been run over by someone who hates cyclists, and she hasn’t been picked out of the grille of an F-350 yet...
