Still More Harold Bloom… Hooded Negro’s YouTube Posts

I just discovered this, and it’s awesome. Part 1 is a general discussion of Bloom and his work; Part 2 focuses specifically on The Anxiety of Influence.

      Me too. I’m hoping he somehow finds this post and contacts us. I’d love to see what he’s into lately.

      His name is David McMillan…and he does a spot-on Cornel West impression:

      He attended Yale which could explain the Bloom interest. Also earned an MFA from USC.

      He did write for television (“Judging Amy”) back in 05-06.

      A great writer & like Justin, I wonder what he’s been up to lately.

      Something I know about Cornel West: He LOVES Taco Bell.
