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.Upon Entering the Music Biz After years of establishment disapproval, the music biz is now being promoted by the education department as a career with prospects
Go into the music business
Make the best of all new starts
My advice, Miss/Mister/Miz is Go for management. Not arts
Hopefuls hang in hungry bunches
On the ladder's lowest rungs
Calibrate careers in lunches
Exercising silver tongues
Later, sporting this year's haircut
At some industry affair.
When musicians ask for their cut
Learn the phrase: "What money? Where?"
Go into the music biz
Golden Gooseville, Residential
Full of lovely folk it is
Music knowledge not essential
Did I say that? Pardon me
I didn't mean to wield the knife
Years in bands. I mix French poetry
Up sometimes with real life
