Sinead O'Connor Was Ahead of Her Time
No just about the Catholic Church, but about police killing black people : O’Connor took responsibility, raising issues years—even decades—before others who had her level of prominence began to address them. Such was the case with what many argue was her greatest song, “Black Boys on Mopeds.” A cry against the killing of Black teenagers and young men by police officers, the song was recorded more than 30 years before the murder of George Floyd inspired millions to take to the streets in Black Lives Matter protests against police violence. Written in the late 1980s, the song was released on O’Connor’s internationally acclaimed 1990 album I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got—which, despite her protests, was nominated for four Grammy Awards in 1991 and took top honors for Best Alternative Music Performance.
