A long time ago, I picked up U2’s The Edge soundtrack for Captive. The only thing I can recall from the album was a track called “Heroine,” with vocals by Sinéad O’Connor. The following year one of the staff at Newbury Comics gave me a prerelease cassette by Sinéad. I recognized the name instantly and instantly became a fan. Decades later, Sinéad still has the power to transfix me with her voice, demanding to be heard. Shuhada' Sadaqat, peace be upon you.
