Letter : Bryan's brill
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.I really hoped Nick Barber wouldn't jump on the "Let's slag off Bryan Adams 'cos he's an easy target" bandwagon (4 August). If I want costume changes, I'll go to see Tina Turner; if I want dance routines, I'll go to see Boyzone; if I want stage effects, I'll wait for the opening of the next Olympics. But if I want two hours of great rock and roll with no pretentions, I'll choose Bryan Adams. The 65,000 people who turned up at Wembley Stadium knew that and I didn't see one disappointed face.
Bob Geldof once said he thought Paula Yates was a good music critic because she never slagged anybody off. If the reader doesn't like an artist, they won't bother reading; if they do, they don't want to read something bad about them.
