C. West on Music

http://colinresponse.wordpress.com/2009/11/02/cornel-west-on-music/

Music at its best…is the grand archeology into and transfiguration of our guttural cry, the great human effort to grasp in time our deepest passions and yearnings as prisoners of time. Profound music leads us–beyond language–to the dark roots of our scream and the celestial
heights of our silence.
