First up, this beautiful lament, originally written in 1969 by Frank Higgins around the testimony of Patience Kershaw to the Children’s Employment Commission in 1842. (Asked why he chose this particular song, the critic replied laconically, “It has everything”.)
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.
