Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *
When a voice goes, we perhaps dismiss the person to whom it belongs. We might not purposely ignore the human being to whom the words have failed, but we certainly find a way to cast their whole being into a kind of purgatory, a lost and found for the once held in virtue.
Such an action says more about us as a society than it will ever do about the individual; we are not only quick to judge, but we are complicit in keeping the person, the artist, the voice lacking strength but not integrity, quiet.
