Dolores O'Riordan, Nembo getting increasingly demented, fascinating to watch

[farmerinthecity]

Also she was famous. Very famous.

This means that it is a bit of a jolt to the system as she was always ‘there’.

She spoke in a interview about having to face the man who raped her as a kid at her Dad’s funeral. She had never told anyone about it. He causally walked up to her, shook her hand and said sorry (about her Dad’s passing).

Sweet Jesus that’s awful.

Does anyone care?

[flattythehurdler]

That’s an unanswerable question.

Dolores O’Riordan’s death is sad in the general sense that a 46 year old dying is always sad, and it’s particularly sad.for those who knew her and even those who are actually genuine fans of her music.

To the best of my knowledge there are 0 of those people posting on this forum.

What’s sad is people going out of their way to claim a special connection to somebody they didn’t give a shit about when they were alive and then get offended at any comment which they think is not hysterical enough. It takes a special kind of person to do that. A lot of those type of people stood outside Buckingham Palace in early September 1997.

@ChocolateMice

Why cant people just be comfortable in who they are?

Did you tell that to Dolores O’Riordan or express that view in relation to her?

very well said @Sidney

@tallback

You’re over-egging it - I don’t think there’s that sort of reaction.

There’s three posts from perspective-free, competitive grief and offence monkeys to prove you wrong.

@johnnysachs

There is a thing in life called perspective you fucking moron

Go play with the traffic mate

@TheUlteriorMotive

And yet the facsimile shock jock schtick won’t earn you an obituary in the New York Times.

Do other people, even dead people,really make you feel so inadequate.

Inadequacy is a horrible thing. But inadequate expressions of grief and hysterics are much more horrible, apparently.

Has anyone looked into Ireland’s fascination with band-wagonning. I can understand a win in sport but this pretend sorrow that people try to hitch on to is a strange phenomenon. Doesn’t even have to be a celebrity. You see it at all funerals, the more tragic the death the more band-wagonners jockey for position. Savage Eye portrayed it brilliantly as they showed people fighting and screaming to be able to carry/touch the coffin.

excellent post

Now you’re getting places, mate … leave it all out.

[balbec]

GIve Brady a big hug and everything will be ok.

[anon61956325]

Sometimes we all need a hug, mate.

[Sidney]

This is very good.

I’d never heard it until last night and only for Dolores O’Riordan dying I’d probably never have heard it.

The one positive out of this tragedy is that “Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?” will probably top the Irish illegal download charts this week.

[anon61956325]

Would you call it a Limerick phenomenon?

Limerick is some city for culture all the same. The Cranberries, Terry Wogan, Rubberbandits, Richard Harris, Frank McCourt, Denis Allen.

[farmerinthecity]

I am amazed that you missed Richard D James!

Alright Sort of the Year - 2012

The families of the Hillsborough victims who fought for 23 years for their loved ones to get the truth. Today they have the truth. Tomorrow, the fight for justice continues. YNWA.

At this stage it would be an insult to a dead person if Limerick doesn’t open a book of condolence for them

When the time comes will JP get one do ya reckon ?
