I could listen to Cornel West all day. On the Santiclausification of Martin Luther King, and what James Brown and Thomas Hardy had in common, among lots of other things.

    Have to agree with that. ‘Vanilla suburb’, love it

    Did he call Tennessee Williams the ‘white little red blues man’? That’s a lot of different, important colours.

    Awesome. Preach, brother.

    By the by, I wonder if he meant “blues-inflected hope”?

    Yeah, the thought did occur to me once I posted the title. ‘Blues-inflected’ is probably what he said.
