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.Vocals: David Bowie
He's our favourite man. We'd like him to be accompanied by Minnie Riperton on backing vocals. She had a five-octave range and the voice of an angel.
Lyrics: Donald Fagen
Steely Dan lyrics are the best; they tell stories and they make you laugh.
Guitar: Connan Mockasin
He would add a psychedelic sound. Lately, I haven't stopped listening to his new single, “I'm the Man, That Will Find You”.
Drums: Jaki Liebezeit
Can's drummer. He has a motorik, metronomic style but he's funky as well. We'd have him or Sheila E.
Keyboards: Bernie Worrell
He was the keyboard player in Parliament/Funkadelic and the expanded Talking Heads, which is another dream band of ours.
Production: Arthur Russell
He would make something really free and unexpected. My favourite stuff of his is the experimental disco period.
Bass: Jah Wobble
He was the original bass player in PiL, and went on to make great solo records like “How Much Are They?” which are all driven by his heavy bass sound.
