	Of course I am biased since I am American, but I think that if
	you are in a foreign country, it is always best to observe and
	respect local custom.  I enjoy Sinead's music and recently saw
	her concert (which was very good) and I always thought she was
	a humble person, so I must admit I was a little surprised at 
	this apparent ego trip.  Sinead is quickly rising through the 
	ranks, but I think she should take a step back and reassess 
	her self-importance.
