On October 3, 1992, Sinéad O’Connor made headlines with a powerful and controversial protest during her live Saturday Night Live performance. Covering Bob Marley’s “War,” she changed the lyric to “child abuse,” held up a photo of Pope John Paul II, and tore it apart on camera. The stunned audience gave no reaction, while NBC was fined $2.5 million by the FCC. The moment became one of the most unforgettable in SNL’s history and forever shaped O’Connor’s public image. | Jams 'N' Cocktails TV
