How Kris Kristofferson Saved The Day For Sinead O’Connor

Everyone needs a friend like Kris Kristofferson….
--
"I'm singing this song for my sister Sinead
Concerning the god awful mess that she made
When she told them her truth just as hard as she could
Her message profoundly was misunderstood
There's humans entrusted with guarding our gold
And humans in charge of the saving of souls
And humans responded all over the world
Condemning that bald headed brave little girl
And maybe she's crazy and maybe she ain't
But so was Picasso and so were the saints
And she's never been partial to shackles or chains
She's too old for breaking and too young to tame
It's askin' for trouble to stick out your neck
In terms of a target a big silhouette
But some candles flicker and some candles fade
And some burn as true as my sister Sinead
And maybe she's crazy and maybe she ain't
But so was Picasso and so were the saints
And she's never been partial to shackles or chains
She's too old for breaking and too young to tame”

He had her back, as they say in England. Well done, for standing to him for standing with her. He knew there was more at stake giving into the bullies. She was proved right in the end. The public funeral procession in Bray, swaying along to Bob Marleys Natural Mystic was very sad and also celebrated her unique talent. A fine tribute, on her last journey. It did bring me to tears and also I had goosebumps, I had played the same tune the day before. Two artists gone too soon.

[@andrzejziolkowski6324]

There is a second part in this story, the opposite of Kris Kristofferson's courage there was the cowardly behavior of Bob Dylan, who did not have the balls to confront the crowd. She was a young woman, his guest... An incredibly mean behavior. “I feel like Bob Dylan is the one who should have come out and told his audience to let me sing. And I’m pissed that he didn’t. So I glare at him in the wings as if he’s my big brother who’s just told my parents I skipped school. He stares back at me, baffled. He’s looking all handsome in his white shirt and pants. It’s the weirdest 30 seconds of my life.” Rememberings, O’Connor.

[@PaisleyPatchouli]

First of all, if everyone knew how many shows Bob Dylan was vehemently BOO'ed at in the 60s, when he 'went electric' and toured with The Band, Sinead would be truly PROUD of continuing in Dylan's fine tradition of being BOO'ed night after night, for months, by so-called FANS, and not really giving a shit. Secondly, KUDOs to Mr Kris Kristofersson, who himself wouldn't give a damn about some over-excited and abusive audience, proof of which is his support of a fellow artist who he saw was in a tough spot and wasn't handling it well. I wish I could have heard the words of comfort and encouragement he whispered into her ear that night... RIP Sinead, your struggles are over; and Kris, at 87 years old, keep on truckin' bro. You're still everyone's hero...

The actions were taken by a true gentleman showing kindness, love & support for a fellow artist. He was also using his weight to quell the audience hate for her.

Kristofferson encouraged Sinead and embraced her as she ran off stage, but no-one saved her. She bravely stood tall against a stadium full of hostility (can't even imagine it!) herself.

[@sarahplanted8338]

There's an interview with Kristofferson where he tells the interviewer that he walked onto the stage and told Sinead O'Connor, " Don't let the bastards get you down." Kristofferson didn't save O'Connor, he stood in solidarity with her. She saved the performance herself. And she was pissed at Dylan. She glares at him - he's standing in the wings. Dylan does nothing, says nothing to her or the crowd - his crowd. Sinead O'Connor wasn't fearless she was terrified, terrified of the harms that were happening to people. She bravely stood in that fear and refused to be silenced.

The recent homage to her by the movie "Nothing Compares" was shortchanged without showing her performance originally singing her breakout song, "Nothing Compares To You".

I advocated for abused children. So many of them were children who were of The Church. They were profoundly abused. The Vatican and The Clergy hid out like the cowards that they are. I am Jewish. The Jewish System doesn't deal any better with Rabbinic Abuse either. All these Religious Institutions have to be forced by Legal Action to deal with these issues. And quite honestly she was Irish and Ireland has a long history of not dealing with Child Abuse that comes out of the Catholic Church System. I was sorry to hear that she passed. She was very much a survivor of abuse, including Incest. She had all of the physical and emotional issues that children and adults who have been severely sexually abused have.

Sinead was a lioness. The world had heard her roar. She had tons of courage for one so young. The crowd booed at her. She calmly stood her ground and even managed to sing her song and only stopped singing when she made her point. The tears only come behind the scenes. It must have been hurt like hell for someone with so much sensitivity. Kris Kristoffenson was standing by Sinead when the crowd was against her. That took courage, compassion and integrity and bespoke of the stature of the man and one true friend. No rat for sinking ship here. Sinead had at least one staunch ally fighting in her corner.

Even during the time of one of his famous movies was 1976 a star is born. He was perfect for the role, but Barbra Streisand did not like him at all he was going through trouble with his wife and, it was hard for him to deal with all of that that his fans will never know everything. I can see why he helped Sinead O’Connor because he went through the same thing many years prior. Thank you so much for bringing that to my attention. I had forgot about that. Take care and God bless ♥️🙏🏼

Kris told her "don't let the bastards get you down." Sinead replied "I'm not down". This video was almost like it was about Kris Krisrofferson, what the hell? He never got an inch of the abuse that Sinead had to go tru (and what she was ready for). I love Kris, but his career contined just fine after this
