<p>As I say in the intro to this short podcast, I was too upset to listen to my podcast re-post Sinead O' Connor: The Music That Made Me, the night I heard Sinead had died. It wasn't until a listener told me last night, July 27th, I realised that Sinead had told me what song she wanted played at her funeral. But I love what she says about death. It doesn't mean that a person's magic is gone." Amen</p>
