    Burning that picture of the pope was legendary, even without her incredible music she’d be remembered as an icon and iconoclast. Bless you.

      She didn’t burn it, she ripped it into pieces. She will definitely be remembered as an iconoclast but obviously hasn’t held up to be that impactful, as people apparently don’t even remember what she did.

        I’d say remembering the message she intended to send is far more important than remembering what exactly she did to the picture.

          You’re right, she should’ve eaten it. It was SNL after all; maybe that would’ve gotten a more enticing ambivalent reaction.
