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
