Let's Over Love with Dr. Cornel West Hello Somebody
-
- Politics
Nina has a philosophically lyrical conversation with Dr Cornel West, author, philosopher, activist and whom she refers to as an “intergalactically known intellectual.”
Under the guise of comparing the blues to our painful current times, this Blues Brother and Blues Sister get low down and dirty about love – that type of bounce-back love that is needed to heal our current catastrophe, that type of love that the Blues songs encapsulate so well and that type of blues that Black folks have been singing since 1870. This episode will have you pressing rewind – just like any good song – so you can catch that “Doc West” melody, that phrasing, that messaging that will feed your soul in this time that is full of heartache but capable of compassion, creativity, smiles and styles. Get on this train, put your headphones on … and listen.
