Sinéad – Incitement

On 3rd October 1992 Irish singer Sinéad o’Connor appeared on Saturday Night Live and gave a rendition of Bob Marley’s song “War”. During the a capella rendition she switched the word “racism” with the words “child abuse” in protest over the problems of sex abuse in the Roman Catholic Church. At the end of the performance she displayed a photo of Pope John Paul II which she proceeded to tear up while pronouncing the word “evil” and “fight the real enemy”.

Incitement? You be the judges of that.
