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.By the time The Doors came to record their final album, Jim Morrison was in retreat from the millstone of rockstar idolatry, shedding his more fanciful pretensions for a straightforward blues persona, the anagramatical "Mr Mojo Risin". It freed him up to help make possibly the band's best album, full of churning gutbucket blues leading to the sinister calm of "Riders on the Storm" – which on the outtake version, Morrison amusingly suggests they do in the manner of a TV cowboy theme. The singer's boozed-up immersion in atavistic blues spirit is obvious from the guttural grunts that herald the alternative version of "The Changeling", and in the unvarnished sensuality of the strutting outtake "She Smells So Nice". But as "Love Her Madly" proved, even at this late stage, The Doors could still crank out a serviceable pop hit.
