I love Sinead, and I loved the ripping up the pope pic episode. Another political maverick was host of the show that night--one who has been making news for his political stand on the war against Iraq too.

Anyone care to guess who?

I wish her the best of luck. I truly don't understand why more wealthy celebrities don't decide to take the money & run, bow out while they are at the top of their game, and retreat to a private life. I am sad to lose her great voice, of course. But I've got the CDs. She continues to be a brave, crazy woman willing to thumb her nose at the political and musical establishment, so I'll always love her for that. An absolutely mesmerizing singer, who did it all on her own terms.
