Cornel West - Brother West (2)

I continue reading this memoir. So far I say that Cornel West, author, scholar, public intellectual, is all over the place. He does a lot of name dropping in this book---authors, books, people. He seems to know everybody and to have read everything One amazing thing to me is how important music is to him. It's as if music is just as important in fashioning his thinking as philosophy and theology. He says he keeps David Hume by his bedside. Really? His mind seems to range across so many things. Does he had intellectual ADD?
