    1. > Fielding a question about whether he, at any point, reconsidered calling „attention to one of SNL’s more controversial moments“ with the song selection, Michaels said, „No“ in response.

      > „If [O’Connor] were still alive, I would have asked her to sing that song,“ Michaels confirmed to Puck. „But it was represented by Miley singing it with so much power.“

      She ripped the image in ’92 and died in ’23… so she wasn’t in your good graces for 31 years up until what?

      Die. Yeah, she had to fucking die for you to make that statement. Nevermind all the years she could’ve used some help, not financially or artistically but help as a human being struggling

      So fuck on off with your precious anniversary

    3. Thereby demonstrating why he might be the comedic kingmaker, but never qualified viable comedian himself. Major ego’hole

      She was so right, a lot of things changed because of her she was a true hero, how Pesci was the next week was so sad and pathetic. She deserved such a better outcome, but the trailblazer usually gets all the hate

      Surrrre and I could have beat up Harmabe so easily. Honestly it’s too bad he’s not around because I would and I could so easily.

      You should retire .. you are so ancient and let young people take it over

    7. I think Lorne’s decisions are becoming increasingly more questionable.

      He deserves to get called out more than he has.

      I was so confused by that backlash when it happened. I had family members who acted like she murdered their puppy and pissed on it. To me, it was just Sinéad being Sinéad. Punk rock to her core, that one. RIP.

      In other news, Baseball Hall of Fame offers Pete Rose free admission on odd numbered weekdays.

    10. And in the intervening years since banning her for speaking truth Lorne rolled out the red carpet for a kiddie raper to host the show. Fuck you Michaels!

    11. Someone should ask him about Damon Wayans too! Loren’s season 11 indentured black cast member,* who Michaels only featured whenever a (another writers’) skit necessitated a black man; Likewise, whenever a skit needed a black woman, Lorne Michaels told Damon to put on a dress (if he wanted to get on TV)… until Wayans acted out and disrupted an on-air bit with ~~another~~ an authorized exaggerated stereotype performance… resulting in Lorne aggressively firing him on the spot.

      ^(a hiring practice Loren Michaels exploited for almost 30 more year, until finally shamed for it in 2014)

      Lest we forget, the inspiration for Dr. Evil in the Austin Powers films was Lorne Michaels. It’s pretty much Mike Myers doing his Lorne Michaels impression.

      Fun Fact (albeit unrelated): Dana Carvey has been in a film with Mike Myers AND a film with Michael Myers.

    13. Cool. And if a frog had wings it wouldn’t bump its ass when it hops.

      Or. If grandma had balls she’d be grandpa

      The last person I wanna hear talk about Sinead O’Connor is Lorne Micheals.

      Lorne Michaels, the guy who hires the “funniest” people and then kneecaps them. All of the best SNL comics find an opportunity to walk away but all know better than badmouthing him.. wonder why?

      Fuck Lorne Michaels. He was awful to Cassandra Peterson (Elvira) too.

      He’s a total asshole who gets away with it because no one wants to be banned from SNL.

    17. uberneuman_part2 on

      Great timing, Lorne. Maybe you shouldn’t have banned her in the first place for dropping an uncomfortable truth.

    18. HambugerBurglarizer on

      Kris Kristofferson is the ONLY dude who ever stood up for Sinead. Lorne Michaels was absolutely not in her corner at any point in her life.

    19. Easy to say, but he had plenty of chances to do just that. I find that statement to be quite worthless.

    20. As a Catholic I have to admit I was mad when she did that. I’m from Boston, so we soon found out she was right. I owe her an apology, too.

      Who here was watching it live as it happened? I did. My heart fell out of my chest when it happened. I failed her in that moment. I didn’t understand then, I know better now. Lorne and the musical community failed her as well. A little late for this.

    22. I think she’d tell Lorne to shove his invitation right up his hole.

      I was never a fan of her music, but she was treated horribly just for speaking the truth. Lorne is a hypocritical piece if shit.

    23. KetchupChips5000 on

      Sure he would have. Not. What an asshole. He did nothing. And she was brave AND completely correct. Fuck Frank Sinatra too. Guy was a raging narcissist. Watch Detective (1968) if you can stomach it. It’s an ego stroker vehicle film.
