While I'm made sleepy by the slow jests of the other two reporters, this Anderson gentlemen intrigues me. I feel that he brings a sense of adventure and spontaneity to every stage of discourse he finds himself engaged in. I was most pleased with his strong assertion in regards to Mr. West's state of heavy intoxication (refer to 4:05 in the video and watch for 30 seconds or so). First, we hear his powerful voice quieted by the intrusive, contrived revelation of the hatted-woman, but Anderson, having done the proverbial dusting off of his shoulders, rejoins with a resounding declaration of Kan-ye's drunkenness. What power! What great emphasis we behold here! Truly, we, the audience, are made witness to the stuff of legends. Anderson is the king lion perched low in his stance among the grass cover in the African Savanna; he waits with the patience of Gandhi, and when the time is right, strikes brilliant and true with a smile, a laugh, or a swift stroke of his straggly yet elegant-haired cheek or chiseled jaw. The art of conversation is not dead my friends – it is alive and well, pulsing with golden magnificence deep within the chambers of Anderson’s soul, made manifest by the vessel that is his godly mouth. Art lives here.

The comment by Harold Bloom might be the best comment on this site, ever. I hope his professorship is going well.
