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 NEW Oxford Dictionary of Idioms only says of watching paint dry that it is "extremely boring"; in fact, after toshing with a roller, to step back and judge the effect (Rothko? Rolf Harris?) can soothe. My latest stint was done to the sound of Billie Holiday, but after pressing the repeat button, I could not eject this wrong disc with gungy fingers: six times over there were eight takes of "A Fine Romance".
These are genuine, but on the Beatles' Anthology sets some takes are conflated, and derided by collectors as outfakes - not yet in any dictionary. Meanwhile, EMI's charging CD prices for Internet music is a scam, as manufacturing costs are minimal. Instead, it should thus issue full versions of "Helter Skelter" and "12-Bar Blues".
