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!"
