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.Odd how one's tastes change. Back in 1980 I recall my utter delight on first hearing the Talking Heads' fourth, career-changing album, Remain in Light.
Thirty years on I would happily never listen to "Once in a Lifetime" ever again. David Byrne still includes it in his set, however, along with a bunch of songs he yodels and gurns through in this concert performance. The Talking Heads have yielded the stage to a new band and a sideshow of, ahem, interpretive dance, neither of which lifted songs it now puzzles me to find unspeakably dreary. The one exception is the melancholy lament "Heaven", though even this seemed to have lost its nuance and delicacy under Byrne's thunderous live arrangement.
