Music and Politics. I must say that I love them both. I believe that I love the music more than I love the politics but as we all know, both have equal amounts of bull**** as well as equal amounts of inspiration. I've been living in Brooklyn for about 22 months now and I have come to see more Hasidic Jews than I have ever seen in my life. Both of my former landlords are Hasidic Jews. Though I have heard many rumors about their unique sexual requests ( intimacy via holes in sheets), witnessed their total emotional detachment from typical Amerianized folk on NYC subway trains, and studied their religious facination with King Herod via National Geographic books found on Williamsburg sidewalks, I still can't get over the fact that Cornel West looks like one of these Hasidic Jews; and occasionally acts like one. That is all that this post is about. Nothing more! Nothing less! And a very special thanks to Cornel and Matis for great pictures. Good day good people!
