The Top 8 Reasons Sinead
O’Connor Is Calling It Quits

8> Sinead who…?

7> Once the Pope started ripping up HER picture in public, it
just wasn’t fun anymore.

6> After that big Chia Head promotional deal fell through, it

5> Listen, you try to start each day by deciding if you are a

4> It’s either retire now, or stick it out through the 2004
election along with Rehnquist.

3> Sunburn.

2> Nothing Compares 2 Drawing Social Security
