It's the day Music Died: Part 2.
Sinead O'Connor claims venerable rock magazine Rolling Stone has
murdered the art form it was created to cover - and used Kim Kardashian
to do it.
The Irish singer-songwriter unleashed a furious epithet-filled rant
Tuesday after the scantily clad "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star
landed on the cover of the music mag.
“What is this c--t doing on the cover of Rolling Stone?” the controversial performer asked on Facebook.
“Music has officially died. Who knew it would be Rolling Stone that
murdered it? Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh can no longer be expected to
take all the blame. Bob Dylan must be f--king horrified.”
O'Connor, 48, singer finished the tirade with a call to boycott the magazine. Rolling Stone did not issue a response.
The latest issue, which hit stands on July 3, features Kardashian in a sailor’s cap and a cleavage-revealing top.
“I’m so much smarter than I’m portrayed,” Kardashian told the magazine
in a wide-ranging, though substance-free, interview that touched on her
rise from sex-tape punch line to a multimillionaire businesswoman and
wife of Kanye West.
O’Connor, who scored a No. 1 in 1990 with "Nothing Compares 2 U", was
furious when she saw the buxom model getting the famed cover - long a
prize doled out to musicians such as John Lennon, Bono, Dylan and Neil
Young.
She posted her screed on Tuesday along with a photo of the Kardashian
cover - and fans quickly shared it more than 4,500 times in six hours.
It's not the first time the singer has lashed out.
She infuriated Catholics in 1992 when she tore a picture of Pope John Paul II on “Saturday Night Live.”
O'Connor has turned to Facebook in recent years to vent her growing list of grievances.
O’Connor accused Cyrus of mocking her past struggles with mental health,
penning a series of open letters on Facebook as the “Wrecking Ball”
star fired back on Twitter.
