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.Jimmy Page and Robert Plant are playing Wembley tonight
So wrapped in Frankie's afghan
coat
I sat around the freezing flat
With Old Dansette plus coffee
rings
More hippie tat than Habitat
Because this girl I liked so much
Had packed me in for various
crimes
I played since `I've Been Loving
You'
Approximately sixty times.
More drugged on teen stupidity
Than anything we might have
scored
We leapt around the room a lot
That's how we broke the ironing
board
But as our new found heroes
then
Were travelling in their touring
bus
Or hanging out at Bron-Y-Aur
It's doubtful that they noticed us
By Fireglow bulbs on winter
nights
We had the figures there to hand
Two hundred thousand album
sleeves
Were skinned-up on, in bedsit
land
And from the way the very walls
Would warp to Pagey's filthy riff
We knew that Zeppelin had the
power
To reach the parts untouched by
Cliff.
The carthorse drums, the organ
sound
Were of a church much darker
then
The singer's scream would tell
us
To be jealous of the backdoor
men
And sweetly inarticulate
A bird of youth sat screeching
there:
"B-b-Baby-baby-baby-baby
Baby-baby. Uh-uh yeaahh!"
