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.For Davies, it's a chance to squeeze back into the songs that made his name – as any man of 66 might wish to revisit an old pair of jeans.
For his guests, it's a chance to try those songs on for size and see how they fit. For the listener? It's a mixed bag, of course: Davies' presence mostly either overshadowing or interrupting the collaborative efforts of Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Mumford et al. Jackson Browne's "Waterloo Sunset" is a high point, the Amy MacDonald duet a low one. Bottom line? Time to buy a new pair of jeans.
