I have to admit I was in the same boat about not knowing exactly what Sinead O'Connor was protesting--I just figured that there were plentiny of likely things to prostest about any organized religion. I didn't actually see that episode live, but my reaction to what I'd heard about it was roughly the same as yours. But I'm guessing I was a decade or more older than you at the time, so I didn't have much of an excuse.
At least I knew she wasn't a Supreme Court justice!
