Some man. Some voice. I always liked Christy and admired him for his honesty and openness about his life and struggles. I met him a few times and he was always ready to stop and chat. Sad news.

Cormac McCarthy, American author of books such as Blood Meridian and The Road, has died aged 89.

Ahhhhh I know he had a good innings but that makes me sad. What a writer.

The man behind the pentagon papers,which lifted the lid on blaggarding and lies by politicians over vietnam,lead to the Watergate issue,and ultimately Americas eventual withdrawal from Vietnam died.....an important person to remember given the Irish establishments determination to drag Ireland into NATO and lies/deception being used to do so

Sinead O'Connor after checking out

[Boardsie Exile]

That's absolutely tragic. Hope she's found peace.

[quodec]

She was an iconic singer but a troubled soul. May she now rest in peace.

[isha]

Awww no you have broken my heart

[isha]

Same age as me. I was mad about her. Many thought she was crazy but having experienced the same Ireland she did as a woman growing up through fecken crazy times and known some of the same issues I really vibed with her. I never got as angry as she did but honestly there but for the grace of God...
So sad for her. But how could she have bourne life after losing her beautiful child. Impossible

The lion and the Cobra is a great album

Very sad news. She had a truly wonderful voice.

My wife has forever been a massive admirer of Sinéad O'Connor, she met her a few times and last year when she found out that Sinéad was renting a house quite close to where we live, I had to convince her not to go marching up there with a welcoming gift to the area.
We also received other terminal news this evening regarding a close friend, so all in all, its been a rather shit day.

I had to think about that for a while and then it came back to me. Well played

Ella O'Dwyer

Had the pleasure of meeting her,through a roommate when younger,a nice nice person,who suffered an awful ordeal in English jails.... hopefully no young Irish person will ever see such hardship again and what's happening in maghaberry will be spoken out against,there's no need for it,only vindictiveness

IRA bomber dies. So what? She would have left a bigger hole in this world if she got blasted to bits by her murderous ‘comrades’ bombs than she does by her absence now.

The only thing she’s famous for is being a terrorist, a proud convict, a mouthpiece for the ‘struggle’. She didn’t live a life worth celebrating and her death, while doubtless sad for her family and friends, is barely noteworthy.

Violent terrorists deserve to be forgotten when they die. The world is a better place without them.
