    2018 deaths thread

    Delores O'Riordan

    I really liked the Cranberries as a kid and listened to their first two albums extensively. This is still one of my favorite songs:

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

      I remember being ticked off at David Spade after a "Spade in America" skit where he criticized her for going from "Linger" to "Zombie," like the change in style was unwelcome.

          Love me some Cranberries. I'm still jealous of whomever that was that saw them in Dublin.

              The taxi driver in Zarcero, Costa Rica who we had take us everywhere for a couple of months had an MP3 playlist, and every single time we got in his taxi, "Zombie" would play, and he would sing along, having no friggin' clue what he was singing. Ronald Chaves Villalobos.

                  Spade can ESAD if he criticized them. There are a couple bands that define my teenage years. The Cranberries are one of them as they became big when I was in high school. No Need to Argue is a fabulous album from start to finish and even my kids will sing along to Zombie when I play it on my guitar.

                      My trainer in the mission was a big Cranberries fan. He would periodically knock doors to the rythym of Zombie.

                          My senior seminar paper was inspired by a line in Zombie.
