Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with a Bugs Bunny Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1956 Chuck Jones directed, Bugs Bonnets:
This is one of the only cartoons that you see Bugs smoking. When Bugs acts like a mobster (after a mobster's fedora falls on his head,) he blows cigar smoke in Elmer's face.
On March 24, 1990, Sinead O'Connor went to No.1 on the UK album chart with her sophomore album and the follow up to 1987's The Lion and the Cobra, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got, featuring the single Nothing Compares To You. The album also went No.1 in 13 other countries and spent six weeks at No.1 in the US. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour is asking you to join them in listening to I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got:
The album got a lot of play on college radio, earning her a small, but devoted fan base. The song, Nothing Compares To You (written by Prince) thrust her into the spotlight, and the attention had some deleterious effects on the singer. O'Connor claimed she hated the fame the song brought her, and that she struggled with the commercialization of her music. Nothing Compares 2 U earned her a Grammy for Best Alternative Performance, but she refused to appear on the awards show in protest of materialism in the music industry.
Demand Euphoria!
