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.The man can even make Gogol Bordello sound great.
Rick Rubin is, IMHO, one of the few musical geniuses at work today. The Avett Brothers fall into that category of bands who've paid their dues but have lacked the magic Rubin touch to take them to the next level (see the Red Hot Chilis, the Jayhawks, etc). This is that next level. It's a glorious, happy-sad, poppy-country thing full of brotherly harmonies, banjo, cello and great, great songs. In an ideal world this would shift millions. But then so would the Jayhawks. Oh well.
