I find it telling that this article is about Prince’s alleged abuse of Sinead O’Connor, but most of the comments are about Sinead’s personal struggles and demons...

You’re correct. I fucked up. 

Not to mention that, on top of the tone deafness of it all, it’s a fucking lame song.

Don’t dip your tip ‘tween the company lips.

Even if you’re handsom?

Ha! Chapelle actually does do a bit about protecting his $12,000 suit from his duck grease-smeared child.

Ummm...we were to understand that there would be pie and punch.

That monkey may be cool, but she’s no Whiplash. 

Not sure if I would love or hate complete strangers informing me that they loved me—not an indictment of the strangers, mind you, but just my general disposition—but I like to think that I would love it and I would handle it as coolly as Birdman does in this story.

I’m starting to think that acquiring extreme wealth and fame at a young age isn’t an ideal way to keep one’s grip on reality. 

If you think Billy the Rapist is bad, you should meet Billy the Kid Rapist. He’s despicable.

That album was always a little hit-or-miss for me personally, but, my god, the songs that hit were fantastic.

Noted. I appreciate the heads up.

Sounds like this guy should dust those references off in two years when A.V. Club has 1991 Week: Part II.
