I only saw O'Connor perform once and that was on the infamous SNL episode. For some reason, possibly past experience with psychotic women, I was immediately repulsed by her. And that was early on, well before she ripped up the picture of the pope. Also, I'm much more of a jazz guy so I probably wasn't going to like her anyway. My favorite musical guest they ever had was Eubie Blake.
OTOH, in the name of full disclosure, I had a similar reaction to Elvis Costello (put off, though, not repulsed) and have since decided he's great.
Compassion and empathy are necessary and, no, that doesn't mean you're going to like the person after you've put yourself in their shoes. You're certainly not obligated.
Good plan. Many people are too busy for a whole hour of Josh at one time. I rarely get to watch the full show right away.
