Doctor Memory (memory@m.blank.org)'s status on Thursday, 27-Jul-2023 12:36:37 JST Doctor Memory

Also, a detail about O’Connor's SNL appearance that I only just now learned.
The woman was hard as nails.

1. O’Connor’s statement on SNL was more personal than most knew. In the book, she details how her mother physically abused her throughout her childhood. “I won the prize in kindergarten for being able to curl up into the smallest ball, but my teacher never knew why I could do it so well,” she writes. There is a reason, in the “Nothing Compares 2 U” video, she being to cry when she hit the line about her mama’s flowers. O’Connor was 18 when her mother died, and on that day she took down the one photograph on her mom’s bedroom wall: the image of the pope. O’Connor carefully saved the photo, waiting for the right moment to destroy it.
