 (Lindsey Best for The Post) | Some would probably characterize her as "difficult" or "unpredictable." Or "mercurial." This woman who was so quick to tell you that she didn't give a hoot how people perceived her would, in the next moment, scroll through the anonymous comments posted on a story to see what they thought. Bob Geldof, who talked to me for my profile at her insistence, told me later that Sinéad had been furious about what he'd said. Neither of us could understand what about it upset her. Their onetime mutual friend, Bono, had stopped talking to Sinéad altogether, at some point after she publicly called him out as a "bozo." I was mesmerized the first time I saw her perform that February, more so by the songs that were new to me than the classics — "Fourth and Main," a poppy jig from her little-heralded 2012 album, "How About I Be Me (and You Be You)?"; the shivering back-to-back brilliance of "Black Boys on Mopeds," a timeless take on police brutality, and "The Last Day of Our Acquaintance," a breakup song like no other. Those gigs were a reminder that Sinéad, the artist, hadn't disappeared. We had stopped paying attention.
