The return of Everett True | 165. Otoboke Beaver

“How can they sing so fast, dad?”

“Oh, this one. [Sigh of recognition.] This is way too fast. [Exclaims happily.] I don’t know how they do the music that fast. [Laughs quietly.] How do they do the music so fast, dad?”

“[Slightly exasperated.] Are they singing in gibberish, or just very fast Japanese?”

“I really like it dad, because I like electric guitar. [Oh come on dad, this is so obvious.]”

“Are there monsters next to them?”

“I like the singing because it’s fast and I never heard a fast singing [like this before].”

“The video just looks so weird.”

“I still like the electric guitar. [Da-a-a-ad. I already told you this.]”

“I like the video most of all.”

My name is Everett True. I am a music critic. This is what I do. I criticise music. The clue is in my job description – music critic. I do not consider myself a journalist, as I do not research or report hard news. I do not consider myself a commentator as I believe that everyone should be a participant. I criticise people and in return I am not surprised if other people criticise me. It is part of the whole deal of being in the public arena. I am Everett True. Believe in me and I have power like a God. Quit believing in me and I no longer exist.
