My Fantasy Band - Ian Broudie Lightning Seeds
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. Vocals - Johnny Cash and John Lennon
I think if they'd sung together they would have been magic. They're my heroes. They both had fantastic careers but both went through complete reawakenings and had second halves. Cash went on to work with Rubin on American Recordings and Lennon came out of the Beatles and made 'Imagine'. They both did it, then did it again.
Guitar and Drums - White Stripes
I'd want the White Stripes to be on stage to add a bit of much-needed bite. I think their youth and vibrancy would really add something. I've not seen the White Stripes since they played their early gigs in pubs around England before they got a record deal. I liked them then, but I'm sure they're much better now.
Backing band The Wrecking Crew
They were a collection of session musicians on the West Coast of America in the '60s who played with all the big bands of the time, including Simon and Garfunkel, the Beach Boys and the Monkees. Even though this would double up on some of the instruments, I'd love to see Hal Blaine up there on the drums and Carol Kaye on bass.
The Lightning Seeds' new album, 'Four Winds', is out now
