Rock Me Amadeus By Seb Hunter
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.Oh no, you think. Not another wisecracking (and lucrative) trudging-round-with-a-fridge foray into an alien world. You'd be wrong. Rock musician Seb Hunter's first book, Hell Bent for Leather, was widely hailed as a Fever Pitch for the Kerrang! generation. His journey into the heart of darkness (and sometimes light) of classical music is more difficult to place, but it's certainly entertaining and very, very funny. It's also a brilliant introduction for the classical novice. Bach's music is, apparently, "as lean as a butcher's dog" while Handel "swallowed a tray too many of Terry's All Gold". Indeed.
