"I like Sinéad. She’s a passionate little singer. And I understand her saying, “I hate this job.” It’s a horrible job. People don’t realize how horrible it is. Making music is great. The exploitation of it is horrible. And I think you’ve got to be hard as nails. Maybe that’s where Madonna has the edge on us. Maybe she doesn’t think it’s horrible. I think it’s degrading, humiliating — so does Sinéad. Whereas Madonna’s above being degraded or humiliated. She flirts with it. And perhaps that bravado is in some ways to be applauded, but at what cost to her soul, is my question."
—Joni Mitchell interviewed for Rolling Stone, October 1991.
"How do you feel about another new queen of rock, Sinéad O’Connor?"
With the passing of Sinéad O'Connor I was reminded of her being illustrated on the Accountability (Justice) card of the Collective Tarot. I thought I might share that with you. May she rest in power.
