I really object to the judgement stated in the subject heading here. Why
ridicule and dismiss somebody who's going to put money where it will
undoubtedly be needed. I have always found O'Connor to be passionate and
sincere, even when she's been wrongheaded. She's made some wonderful
music to boot. It is predictable that she's political and cause
oriented. What's wrong with that. You'd have to criticize a lot of
artists if you take the "sucking off others misery" stance, starting
with, maybe Woody Guthrie. Why single out one tough, vocal, political
woman? I don't want to get flamed, but in defence of O'Connor I will say
"fuck off!"
