This post was going to be more involved. I had been assembling things here for a few weeks to do a very detailed tribute.
This is a tragic loss.

Sinéad O’Connor, As Remembered by Collaborators and Famous Fans
News of Irish singer Sinéad O’Connor’s death broke July 26. Fans and friends alike have come to social media to remember O’Connor as a gifted performer, a Cassandra unappreciated in her time, and a devoted mother. O’Connor came to U.S. attention with her cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” and was pushed out of the spotlight after protesting the abuse of children by the Catholic church on Saturday Night Live. As Janelle Monáe tweeted, her most famous act was tearing up a picture of the pope and saying “Fight the real enemy” on live TV. It’s an act of protest that only becomes more prescient with every exposé of systemic abuse. O’Connor was praised for the transparency with which she lived her life and all the struggles therein. Earlier this year, her son Nevi’im Nesta Ali Shane O’Connor died by suicide. The night of O’Connor’s death, Pink brought her friend Brandi Carlile out at her concert in Cincinnati to salute O’Connor with a cover of “Nothing Compares 2 U.”
“My son Henry listened to her & I think about him when I listen to her now. I was so sad when her son died,” Rob Delaney wrote on social media. “I love her she is my hero in art & honesty.” Russell Crowe shared a story about running into O’Connor in Ireland and a long and winding talk they had. Below, celebrities sharing their grief include Patton Oswalt, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bear McCreary, Public Enemy, and Toni Collette.

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
