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.Fumpin' R&B rock like this can never be a bad thing, but there are degrees of not-bad.
In this case, the degrees will be calibrated by your tolerance of yelling – the guitar and horn sort of yelling, as well as the vocal sort – and your ability to enjoy a hoary old riff played slightly too fast for classical R&B coolth in support of a barely there song. Let's not be coy: energy levels are high and Black Joe's intent is malevolent (and his Austin, TX address is unarguable). But attitood ain't every damn thing.
