  Yes Jim, it is, or was Sinead. At times, with those I don't particularly care for I insert names that pop-up to degrade the person in a harmless, albeit, naughty fashion....it is the same with junkie actor Dustin Hoffman Seymour (Philip Seymour Hoffman) , or our current POTUS, Obak Barama or "Bama Pie" ( which is a pastry made in Tulsa) , others...Lorenzo Del a Ciprio, or Duke Guillingille, you know nonsense like that.... good eye !   ;-}

  Ok, I get it, duh.   I agree Sinead is waaay out there.  But I will give credit where credit is due: she was a great singer at one time.  Her album "I Do Not Want What I Do Not Have" from several years ago, was quite remarkable.

  I only looked at your post that day because Dec 8 happened to be my B'day..  There were some interesting b'day people on that day, some I had known about, some not.  Thanks
