No strangers to the college charts. Boston rockers The Lemon heads have six albums to their credit. Known for their jangly and infectious pop songwriting, their cover of "Mrs. Robinson". and boytoy front man Evan Dando, the band shares insights and interesting personal accounts with Melody Maker writer Everett True. Packed with pictures, many in full color.
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 write about music, and my life. I do not separate one from the other, nor am I ashamed of voicing opinion. Indeed, I believe opinion to be central to my craft. I do not need others to tell me what to enjoy and I do not trust critics who claim to be impartial because – at the very least – they have not fully thought through what they are doing.
I am Everett True. Believe in me and I have power like a God. Quit believing in me and I no longer exist.
