In 2012 this person named Sinead said this in an interview: "“I come from a tradition of Irish artists where I am principally concerned with affecting my society,”
She is being truthful but not genuine and on track. She is actually being misleading.
First of all maxist misandrist homosexual nutcase, in Ireland the passed down tradition of affecting society with music was usually reserved for positive and good contributions to that society. You know, change the world for better.
Unfortunately for her, she is claiming an old irish tradition while at the same time using that tradition to destroy the social fabric of her country and others around the world with toxic fascist marxism and homosexuality, and drugs, and god knows what else from the communist manifesto that she projected upon the world and calls it irish tradition.
She is a traitor to her country in my eyes. She projected EVIL upon the world. To me she did not make the world a better place. She poisoned it with her short life. Sinead Connor was toxic mental illness she poisoned the world with. And this was her art. When the insane become famous for music and then use that fame for a platform of evil toxic poison.
"Meanwhile, her demons surfaced frequently on social media, raising concerns about her mental health and well-being. In interviews, she said she had attempted suicide and suffered from depression and PTSD."
But hey, everyone look at her! Everyone listen to her! Everyone think like her because its in her irish tradition to change the world. No one said it could not be for evil! Ooooops!
And hey, look at her. She's dead! Dead by her own hand because she was not able to think herself into a decent good life. Nope. She THOUGHT herself into evil and then spread it around the world with a self righteous holier than thou mentality and abused the world and in the end told her own family she now admits she is mentally ill and her family have to step up and take care of her for the rest of her life because she is special. Never mind all her decades of projecting toxic poison upon the world trying to turn us all into marching marxist fascists and men are terrorists and all that misandrist hate men crap that she turned into irish tradition!
She is dead because of her thoughts. I don't think I want to think like her. And there is not one word that ever came out of her mouth that has any relevancy on me and the society I choose to live in. She, Sinead O'connor is little more than an evil martian space monster running around the world zapping people and then telling her family you gotta take care of me because. Some entitlement mentality she had going on. Sickening really.
Sorry Sinead, the Irish tradition of passed down legacy of music to change society was always, and I mean always to change society for the better. In your case, your thoughts went in the wrong direction and all you spewed was evil and it came back on you and you could not handle it and blamed the world.
Sinead O'connor is the classic case of entitled marxist misandrist.
Oh and hey Sinead, I wish you were still around to clarify which family members you think have to take care of you for the rest of your special privileged life? Does this apply to men and women family members equally? Are the men even qualified to take care of you? The women? She just said family which includes all of them as I see it. I am wondering if she means family with money? Or, if she is including dead broke mentally ill marxist feminazis like herself in her family group of who is required to take care of her for life? I am sure she would like to pick and choose which family members are required to care for her.
------------------------------------------------------------
And Skynyrd frynds, this is not the first time I have seen this same mentality. I first saw it in Leon Wilkeson.
Poor Leon could not take care of himself either. Leon had to have others around him at all times to guide him, keep him in place, keep him from running off the rails, pay the bills because he was not responsible enough to do it. Leon could not take care of himself. And after the plane crash he was much worse.
Leon was the only band member who had to have a paid caretaker babysitting him around the clock. Artimus was not doing that. He was opposite. Allen was not doing that. He was opposite. Billy was not doing that. He was opposite. Billy used wives for this job and then got all pissed off when they took charge. Billy even bought a condo to move away from the witch he was married to and he died in it living with a college aged hottie.
Gary could take care of himself but did not want to. Dale was his caretaker of choice. He beat up Allen for her.
Leon however, poor soul, was lost.
When I met Leon his personal manager was Tim Smith. Before Leon died his personal manager was Dale Bowman. Dale wrote an amazing book about it called "The Murder Of Leon Wilkeson" and that book and the words in it all revolved around Leon could not take care of himself and others had to do it for Leon. 24/7.
During the time I knew the Wilkesons, his mother Mabel Wilkeson was a helicopter mom spending as much time inside Leon's house caring for her middle aged son same as if he was still a teenager living at home. He simply had a different home and mom kept doing what mom always did. Take care of her son who could not care for himself.
Truth is, Leon's wives were worthless. One was a stripper and druggie and the other one was cocaine dealer he married.
These worthless women did not take care of Leon's house as they should. Nope. Mother Mabel Wilkeson to the rescue. She was over at Leon's all the time cleaning. Straightening up. Washing dishes. Vacuuming. Dusting. making beds. Doing the laundry.
You know, all those necessary things that have to be done but for some reason a drugged out drunken rock star will never do it, and his lovely stripper of a wife and or slash cocaine drug dealer wife would not do it either.
In fact, Artimus told me one time he went to Leon's house and found front door wide open and he walked inside and said he looked around the living room and saw blood splattered on walls and ceilings and bullets laying all around the place was a mess.
This was when Leon was married to his cocaine drug dealer wife, the same one who slashed his throat on the tour bus and got kicked off and Ed needed a gun to defend himself from.
Sinead O'Connor and Leon Wilkeson are two rock stars who shared the same mentality.
I am gonna tell you all the Leon I met in 1985 was one lost soul. You could see the haunted look in his eyes hiding tremendous personal pain he kept hidden inside. Personal tragedy Leon carried and hid. He tried to be cheerful and he tried to always be "on" and be the entertainer for all and even bankrolled most of it without a thought about how much it all cost him. He could not care less. He worked for Lynyrd Skynyrd and the money will keep rolling in as long as he can keep his job.
So in the end, Leon was consumed by paranoia of being fired for the slightest infraction and losing his income. He was deathly afraid of going broke and living on the streets.
When Leon died he had not one, but two Moose membership cards in his wallet. This is extremely significant because Leon is the only band member to sign up to an organization who's sole purpose is to take care of aging elderly members.
Leon lived in Orange Park Florida on Dolphin Street when I met him in 1985.
Also in Orange Park Florida is Moose Haven, the very place that takes care of aging elderly loyal members of Moose. Leon was a loyal member of Moose because he wanted them to take care of him as his last card to play. His one and only shot at being cared for, for life, and Leon had only one thing to give to the loyal order of Moose and that would be any percentages of Lynyrd Skynyrd he might own would have to all be handed over to Moose Lodge FOREVER.
Leon Wilkeson was very close to giving all of his Lynyrd Skynyrd rights and income away to Moose as his last and final card to play on making sure he was cared for, for life.
Leon died with TWO identification membership cards to Moose Lodge in his wallet on his person at the time of his death. TWO cards. A man only needs one. Leon carried TWO.
Please read the first sentence or paragraph on the following old MooseHaven postcard... Those words are precisely why Leon was found dead with two moose cards in his wallet. If Leon had lost his job to Gary's band, Moosehaven was Leon's last option. And that is why he was careful enough in life to make sure he had in his possession and on his person and in his wallet not one, but TWO membership cards to this place:
People want to praise Gary Rossington as some Skynyrd hero. The very man who made a career out of taking the Skynyrd out of Lynyrd Skynyrd by personally being responsible for FIRING one by one ORIGINAL SKYNYRD BAND MEMBERS!
And it is precisely BECAUSE of this Gary Rossington behavior of FIRING original band members that had Leon so messed up in the head in his final years. My god that man was so delusional paranoid and running scared it was insane.
If Leon was being a super rock star in some bar, club, or restaurant, and if I showed up and or Artimus Pyle showed up or we both showed up at the same place Leon was at, because of his insane fear of Gary Rossington firing him, Leon Wilkeson would literally RUN IN FEAR OF HIS LIFE out the front door as fast as he could.
Leon was scared that Gary Rossington would hear that Leon was hanging out with KNOWN ENEMIES of Gary Rossington. And Leon could not allow that. Whoever Gary said was bad and on his shit list, Leon Wilkeson lived in fear of and ran in fear from. I saw it with own eyes. Deathly afraid of Gary Rossington and losing his job.
Yet it was Gary Rossington himself mastermind career thug criminal himself who orchestrated the kidnapping of Leon away from his personal manager Dale Bowman who Leon HIRED to protect and defend him from Gary Rossington and be his bully and thug hired to go after Ed King and Gary Rossington to make sure Leon was paid his fair share which was NOT happening! In fact, Leon had stopped receiving income from corporations he shared with Gary and Ed and Leon knew he was being fucked and hired Dale Bowman to defend his financial shares and make sure he got what he was owed.
So poor Leon in his last years was on the run, living in fear, and wacked out on drugs and alcohol which only made it all much worse for him. And in the end, Leon's lifeless body was discovered filled with drugs used to sedate with, which was at the root cause of his death which was positional asphyxiation complicated by drugged sedation his personal manager Dale Bowman accused Gary Rossington of pumping into Leon to control him and the hired bodyguard also died not long after with same chemical cocktail in his system too. Convenient coincidence.
Dale Bowman wanted the police to investigate Leon's death as a murder, or unintentional homicide and Gary got lucky and police did not pursue it when maybe they should have.
The band had a history of using drugs to control people with. Artimus made this clear to me when he told me about the time Ed King quit the band and Artimus said band members were threatening to kill him and kicking down his hotel room doors to get at his drugs that Ed King used personally and also sold to other band members quite often using drugs like cocaine to get the other band members to do things for him.
In the latest podcast with Pops, he made it clear Ed King and Gary Rossington paid all band employees with daily doses of baggies of cocaine to keep them from quitting. Same thing. Using drugs to control others with.
Ed King was a left wing Californication master expert at it. he is the one who got Gary and Allen hooked on the needle. Ed King brought it into Skynyrd. Band members have admitted it. Ed King wanted money from Skynyrd and used drugs to get it.
What happened to Leon at the end of his life should have been investigated by police. I agree with Dale Bowman. We both saw the same thing basically from different angles.
