Revisit our 1991 cover story on Sinead O'Connor, where the singer discussed her rise to the top, her battles with Frank Sinatra, working with Prince, and more.
Of course, she has better reasons to be proud. All the recent commotion has at times threatened to obscure her real achievement in the past year: namely, that with– a demanding, highly personal masterpiece – she proved that a recording artist could refuse to compromise and still connect with millions of listeners hungry for music of substance.
Over lunch at the Source – the famed L.A. health-food restaurant where Woody Allen and Diane Keaton face off at the end of– O’Connor, 24, ignores such offerings as the Aware salad and the brown-rice pancakes, settling instead for eggs, cappuccino and a steady stream of cigarettes. As she reviews the events of the past year, O’Connor occasionally switches the topic to something else she wants that she hasn’t got – a man. “I’min love with Andy Garcia,” she says excitedly at one point.
True to her reputation, O’Connor is no diplomat. Asked to list her favorite records of 1990, she offers an additional list of her least favorite. Yet, for all her well-chronicled feistiness, O’Connor is not the hairless hell raiser so many stories would lead one to believe. In person there’s a sweetness and generosity about her that doesn’t translate to the tabloids.
