She's a Celibate Lesbian Rastafarian Irish Roman Catholic Priest Singer-Songwriter with Two Children... But hey, don't try to pigeonhole Sinéad O'Connor, buster. Apparently, what the lady really wants to do is stand-up, as she demonstrates in the September Gear, according to E! Online.
"Have you heard the joke about Kentucky Freud Chicken?" she clucks. "It's mother-fucking good." Okay, so Henny Youngman she's not. And by the way, where's the anger, the Fires of Babylon, the Pope-ripping rage she's known for? Oh, here's something that pisses her off: "I think there were imitators who came afterward," she says, "people with fake rage, whose rage is not real." We can relate, honey. Fake rage has always been one of our pet peeves, too. But as her new record, Faith and Courage, proves, she's letting go of all that. "I almost want to get the word humility tattooed across my fingers," she says. Well, if you haven't decided for sure yet, might we suggest the word subtle? That would leave two fingers free for the exclamation points—Albawaba.com.
