Over here, mate. Angry isn't nearly as interesting as what happens when it
finally burns itself out and becomes sad. To me angry female singers are just
as boring as angry male singers. It's not until you get a bit of sensitivity
that you start to actually reach some depth rather than just blaming
everything you can point at. Audiences will always want saviors, and little
girls and little boys will always want their saviors to be as angry as their
own parents won't allow them to be. Perfect recipe for a puppet dictator, eh?
Any bets on how long Marilyn Manson will enjoy his time in the sun?
In a lot of ways, Sinead O'Connor is still the mother of that whole lot. When
she was angry she could have eaten any of those other sistahs for lunch. And
when her anger finally burned out and supernovaed and she got sad, she's the
only one who you'd want to sing you to sleep.
