In 1990, Sinéad O’Connor’s video for “Nothing Compares 2 U” turned her into a superstar. Two years later, an appearance on Saturday Night Live turned her into a scandal. For many people—including, for years, the author—what they knew of O’Connor stopped there. Allyson McCabe believes it’s time to reassess our old judgments about Sinéad O’Connor and to expose the machinery that built her up and knocked her down.

Two stars for effort. Fortunately, O’Connor wrote her own story in her autobiography, “Rememberings” and cooperated in the production of Kathryn Ferguson’s “Nothing Compares.” In fact, O’Connor has said, ‘’To be understood was my desire. Along with that was my desire to not have the ignorant tell my story when I am gone.’’ This is not to suggest that McCabe’s book is ignorant, but the feeling for me is that it is misguided. There is more of McCabe’s life story than O’Connors, and many of the interpretations of O’Connor’s story seem off. As O’Connor stated, forcefully, “If anyone wants to truly get to know me, the best way is through my songs.’’ Appreciation of art resides in the mind of the beholder. We don’t need a timeline of the music business; a timeline unfortunately inhabited by a ghost that haunted the writer before the ghost died.
