I can only assume someone else bought them for me.

Just found THREE copies of the June 1990 issue of Rolling Stone.
I had never read Rolling Stone much.
I never liked Shine-Head, or whatever her name was.
I wasn't THAT much of a Howard Stern fan.
So why, me from 24 years ago? WHY!?

Two of them have a "Howard Stern fans BUY THIS ISSUE" sticker on the front, and all three have the same Sine-Aid cover photo.

And Firefox doesn't want to suggest a correct spelling of her name, so I'll just go with those.

Somehow, I got a subscription to VIBE.

But that was probably around or over a year ago now that I was able to send an email to get them to stop sending me that stuff.

If some idiot / a-hole wants to throw their money away on some kind of prank like that... whatever.

Sinead O'Connor, or am I on the wrong track entirely?

Yeah, that's the one. The one that got famous by shaving her head, going on SNL, and tearing up a picture of whoever was Pope at the time. Couldn't be bothered looking at the cover again.

TBH I can't even remember any of her songs. I can remember her shaved head, though.

Oh come on, she had one hit, which was *everywhere* in 1990, "Nothing Compares 2 U". Not a terrible tune, probably because Prince wrote it, and notable in its pioneering use of obnoxious abbreviations, a good 10 years prior to texting entering the mainstream.

I recall it as being quite annoying: NoTHING compares...2U

Well, the performance is a little overblown, but the tune itself really isn't that bad.
