Singer of one of the most iconic songs of the early 90s passed away after battling mental health issues for decades. Nothing compares 2 U was huge in the early 90s and you couldn't turn MTV on for any length of time without seeing that video.
RIP Sinead O'Connor

Issue number three: [ points to Sinead ] This bald chick – what’s with her head? Let’s start with the chick. What gives, cue ball? I’m looking at you, I’m thinking: fourteen in the side pocket!
Remake of the Family song, written by Prince. O’Connor appeared to be a tortured soul. Sad.
I can't think of O'Connor without picturing this skit.

Frank Sinatra: I’ll tell you what you better understand! Next time you see Old Glory riding up that pole, you better sing that anthem, darling! You’re lucky you’re a chick, or you’d be nothing but a stain on the road and a crewcut. Our founding fathers went to the mat for you, baby!
Sinead O’Connor: It’s not my flag – I’m Irish.
Frank Sinatra: Oh? Well, then stay off of this stuff.. [ mimes drinking ] That’s the curse of you people. Billy Idol!

I appreciated her earlier outspokenness and her bravery. Her call to “fight the real enemy” was brilliant.
Fare thee well in the forever after, it's about to get stuffy in here, though.

During his opening monologue the following week, Catholic-raised host Joe Pesci held up the photo, explaining that he had taped it back together, to huge applause. Pesci also said that if it had been his show, "I would have gave [sic] her such a smack".
Guess Pesci never gave a follow-up when she turned out to be correct. I like Pesci's work but that was such a different time. One person made a peaceful, quiet statement in which she was unfortunately correct and was vilified. Another put tape (or probably had someone put tape) on a torn photo and said he'd smack the person who tore said photo and he was a hero for a night.
