Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Bass: Paul McCartney
We'd probably have to hold him back from doing other things, but he's certainly my all-time favourite bass player. There's such a purity and beauty to his playing.
Piano: John Cale
He could also play some viola and harpsichord. I think he'd bring an experimental side to the band. I love the simplicity of his playing, particularly his piano playing, so that would be his primary instrument. Again I'd have to hold him back from doing a million other things. He could probably produce the band as well.
Guitar: Jack White
I really like all of these players because there's an element of simplicity to what they do. They have really strong great sounds. I love Jack White's distortions and he always has amazing tone with his guitar.
Drums: Jim White & Phil Selway
I'm proposing two drummers. White because Dirty Three are incredible and he's such a great random player. He goes by feel, he's not traditional in any way. I would offset him with Phil Selway from Radiohead because he could lay down the really great grooves and then Jim would add the random beauty. They'd be a great combination.
Vocals: Cat Power
I'd have her sing and play a bit of piano and guitar. She's got one of the most distinctive voices of our generation. She's sometimes been a bit underrated but I love her.
