Thank you, Harold. But I'd add that the old Bill Murray was pretty revelatory too. Who said, "The work of any pioneering artist first looks like excess, then reveals itself as precision"? Well, I guess I did, just now. But / as Nick the Lounge Singer on SNL and in a lot of his movies, Bill taught us that there was a magical, very American bliss to be achieved by failing in public and not realizing it. He was the soul of the showman in every CPA who's just had that third Scotch on the rocks...

She was supposed to keep things simple and, believe it or not, just sing. These people didn't come to SNL studios to humor inexplicable political views...
...This SNL appearance certainly did not mark the first time that Sinead has gotten heat for her antics. Last year, Sinead refused to have the Star Spangled Banner sung at her concert in New Jersey, because she did not support what it stood for. This move caused her to lose the support of some fans and forced her to wear disguises in public. The effects of last week's outburst have yet to be seen. Only time will tell if Sinead's latest release, "Am I Not Your Girl," will follow its initial two week trend (Billboard cites the album...
