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.

I guess it's no fun being a one-hit wonder. Maria Muldaur privately admitted that she never, ever liked "Midnight at the Oasis", but she has spent her career living it down. One wonders what Peter Sarstedt thinks about his similar moment of fame with Where Do You Go To My Lovely which centred around Marie Claire who talked like Marlene Dietrich and danced like Zizi Jeanmaire. (No, they really don't write them like that anymore.) You can find out tonight when he shares the bill with The Mamas and the Papas. OK, so it's not the real Sixties singing group. How could it be? Mama Cass choked on a ham sandwich and died over 20 years ago. Still, we're assured that Papa John Phillips has handpicked the new members who will sing their way through the surprisingly tart and complex harmonies of such classics as Monday, Monday and Dedicated to the One I Love.
