What makes a (music) critic
"The fundamental job spec requirements: clarity of expression, an infallible memory, ... lightly-worn technical expertise, social graces and a pair of open eyes and ears, ever-ready to be astonished.
Beyond these skills, serious practitioners bring something extra to the art. No great critic was ever a monomaniac." ¶ 10/02/2003 07:06:00 AM
